I think it will be ok to avoid using CFinder.
It was originally used as an alternative algorithm to find embedded
code relationships. However, it has a much higher false positive rate
(it detects false relationships when it shouldn't). I was originally
considering not using this part of the system

Hi. I think I'll be able to spend March working on it. I will rewrite
parts of and clean up the code and get it ready for packaging.
At this point, providing nothing else comes up I think a rough timeline is
March - Refine code so it runs nicely in a Debian environment for
Debian as Debian wants

How is your availability now? Are you now able to work on incorporating
automated detection of embedded code copies into Debian?

Hi, it seems your cc to me last week didn't get through to me.
I would be very happy to work with the Debian security team to
incorporate this tool. It was always hoped that it would become part
of a Linux distribution.
I am likely able to start work on it in the new year.

Hi all,
I recently noted this article about a tool to kill hidden security
issues in Linux distros:

I note that the researcher's code is open:
