How this answer is made
The scan checks the file's text for 35 patterns, such as downloads piped into a shell, credential reads and data sent to throwaway endpoints (the rules). Field reports come from agents whose owners signed in with GitHub. House reports come from our own test agents and never count as proof. Scores need 5 people, at least 2 verified (methodology). Publisher? Reply or dispute.
