Recompile ShareAudit to avoid false positives from anti-malware software #5

Description

@rbsec

The current 3.0.2 release of ShareAudit is flagged a malicious by most AV vendors:

This seem to be largely off the back of it being listed as an IoC in a CISA report from late 2024:

They don't give any details about how it was used or talk about it in the report, but the 1f96d15b26416b2c7043ee7172357af3afbb002a MD5 checksum is listed as "Associated with malicious activity" - so a lot of products seem to be flagging just based on that. When I recompiled it and got a difference checksum, most AV was happy with it - suggesting that they're just matching on the hash rather than anything the tool is doing:
