Well, the file probably is packed with VMProtect to prevent reverse engineering, so it is not a false alarm per se, but given that it is likely a legitimate file that has used the packer for legitimate reasons, it probably should not be detected. Source: almost 2 years ago
Crinkler, the compressing linker, is really interesting. This link inadvertently shows the file_id.diz for Crinkler rather than anything relevant to the rest of Elevated; but honestly I always found the Crinkler stuff to be fascinating. The project lives on today: https://github.com/runestubbe/Crinkler and http://crinkler.net/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
