A quick heads-up to those of you that use Sysinternals tools like Process Explorer to check PE files on VirusTotal: this is not working for the moment.

We've had reports and saw Tweets about this issue in the past days.

We confirm there is an issue: a check for notepad.exe with Process Explorer results in a not-found reply:

{"data": [{"found": false, "hash": "C401CD335BA6A3BDAF8799FDC09CDC0721F06015"}], "result": 1}

Let's hope this gets sorted out after the weekend.

Update: I was asked how I obtained VirusTotal's not-found reply. I used a debugging proxy server (Fiddler), details are in this video:

Wireshark 3.4.2 Released

Less than 2 weeks after release 3.4.1, there's already another release of Wireshark: 3.4.2.

That's probably because of bug 17075: Wireshark 3.4.1 hangs on startup on macOS Big Sur 11.0.1.
