Avast, Kaspersky and so on sell trojans that compete against other, free, as in gratis, trojans in userspace. They have next to no interest in security as such beyond that scope.
Can you show data about Avast being comparable to a trojan? Disclosure, worked there 15 years ago.
I think you mean the last entry on the readme[1], as the last entry in the FAQ is about the meaning of pass/fail in the score 1: https://github.com/NVIDIA/garak/blob/d8bd12ea969eec377326241...
Thanks! Wrote it loooong before it was a corporate tool and was only a labor of love. Now it's both

I guess I was a bit direct but I don't fully understand the down vote. I was not implying that the README was bad and it does have corrections that would improve it. My reason for not raising a PR is some repo owners don't care and I really didn't want to go through the effort unless they actually care.
Garak is a former spook that served an explicitly genocidal fascist regime and repeatedly tries to get back in and moonlights as a terrorist and starts a war. It's a borderline insane branding of this corporate tool. Words and stories apparently mean nothing to these people, so if allowed they'll probably destroy the lot of it for all of us.
Garak is a compelling literary figure and is very popular among Trekkies, for good reason, you're understanding the character wrong for example not even Kira Nerys would say only what you reductively said about him.
Yeah, but this megacorporation is not a resistance fighter. It's not even as human as the cardassians.
I get that making GPUs isn't the most environmentally friendly, but the Cardassians literally conqured the homrworld of the Bajorans and enslaved them and strip mined their planet for fifty years. Whatever crimes you think Nvidia is guilty of, they have, at most, one planet they've done things to.
Ah, this is an ((LLM vulnerability) scanner) not (LLM (vulnerability scanner)) which I thought would be a terrible idea and couldn't understand why everyone was joking about the lies. I also am not a Trekkie, so I had to look up all the tailor references but the character's philosophy makes sense for the name https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elim_Garak#:~:text=the%20truth...
Thank you for clarifying. I also initially thought it was an (LLM (vulnerability scanner)).

The downvotes were probably because the comment felt like an ad for your tool
