Today Microsoft Security Essentials started to flag all chisel versions as a hacking tool

Today Microsoft updated the database for security essentials and Windows Defender. Therefore, all software using chisel on Microsoft will be prevented from running because it is considered a "hack tool". The argument is that "Hacktools can be used to patch or "crack" some software so it will run without a valid license or genuine product key."

I strongly disagree with the fact that Microsoft can just blacklist an open source tcp tunnel software library without blacklisting all such tunnels. If a software misuses an open source library the software doing so should be banned, not the underlying library providing a technical means.

The solution is to whitelist this but this is not very elegant.

This has also been discussed previously here #229 for another anti-virus vendor and is flagged as won't fix. I guess this will end up as won't / can't fix as well? But maybe we should address this with Microsoft?
