Title: LC4 Cracking Tool
Post by: mohan12e on August 06, 2008, 12:36:11 PM
Hi,
   I have a LC4 setup with me but my AV pops up saying LophtCrack detected. Is this common. This is the first time i'm trying this tool.

Thanks in advance.

Yes. I am seeing more and more of this because AVs are trying to be more heuristic and there are so many threats out there so on "some" AVs anything that remotely looks like a hacker tool will be a false positive.

I found the same thing with a port scanning tool I was using. Some AV apps have a way of approving things so you don't get harangued. Others are really annoying and just delete stuff....
