Dot shows detection confidence; hover a technology for its evidence source. Higher confidence means a stronger extraction signal (e.g. a manifest entry vs. a binary string match).

Analyzed binary

SHA-256 of the exact binary KStars was analyzed from.

No signal

No signal — this field was not captured in the extraction on record. It is populated on re-extraction, not absent from the app.
