Bogus signatures (Internal)

OctoSAM Internal Query

Internal queries are advanced queries for analysis of the inner workings of the OctoSAM application. These queries are geared towards administrators with an in-depth knowledge of OctoSAM.

This query finds bogus signatures, most likely left over from older versions of the scanner or imported before rewriting rules were properly set up. Different criteria are combined in one query - see column Reason. These signatures can usually safely be deleted.
