Technopedia is making changes for evidence recognition for the release Apache Software Foundation Tomcat 9.0 to address a reported problem with false positives. Common file evidence with display name ‘Tomcat9.exe’ has been causing false recognition for Apache Software Foundation Tomcat 9.0 which is not correct.  We will be ignoring this file evidence in Technopedia. This change will impact customers who have relied upon discovered data that was previously recognizing Apache Software Foundation Tomcat based on exe data. We have research on this discovered exe file and there would be no impacts as it shouldn’t be used for recognition. The complete list of changes is in the attachment. An ETA for completion of these changes will be communicated shortly. ... View more
