Kudos to you and your team for this project. I have a question with respect to the file types that one can upload to the repository. For some reason file type .exe .msi and .bin do not yield any results. I was wondering If this was common or perhaps the agents do not recognize these file types for analysis. If you notice on the below screen shot the .exe links are not available. Am I missing something?
<image002.jpeg> Thanks Manny Hi Manny, You aren't doing anything wrong. These windows file types are a problem for us because extractors that handle them, like 7-zip, only extract these types on windows. If someone could tell us how to extract them on linux, we would put it in. Another option is to extract them on windows, tar or zip them up, then put that new archive into fossology.
