Showerthought: I was wrong to dismiss manual injector cleaning

Now I see its value. It finds small cracks that tools miss.

Really? Modern scanners catch pretty much everything these days.

I mean, "catch pretty much everything" is a huge stretch. They only catch what they already know to look for. New stuff, or stuff hidden in ways the scanner isn't programmed to see, goes right through. I've seen malware get by because it was tucked inside code that looked totally clean. The scanners are looking for old patterns, not smart new ones. They're a good tool but acting like they're a perfect wall is just wrong.

I read that zero-day stuff still slips right past even the best scanners, so do they really catch everything?
