Description

Contributor guide

Research direction

Investigate the false positive detection of MS Kerberos in torrent traffic. Reproduce the issue with sample pcap or live traffic. Trace the detection logic in the code (likely in Python) and identify why torrent traffic triggers the pattern. Consider adding protocol filtering or adjusting the signature to reduce false positives.
