I rather like how the folks squabbling about the stats about the report stockpile are ignoring the stats about OSS Scanner. [0] The > 50% false positive rate for Curl agrees with Greg K-H's report of a very high false postive rate from Glasswing/Fable. And -as he mentioned in his talk [1] this year- people refused to pay money for Qualys because its 20% false positive rate was way too high. The only way you're going to get folks to pay for Anthropic's vulnerability scanners is if they're either incapable of understanding the details about its performance or they don't give any fucks about saturating their bug-fixers with garbage reports.
