False Positives
For testing while developing this, I initially ran Empire in its default state, and then customized. After that, I relied on servers listed by public threat intel feeds to test against; around 100.
98 were identified as Empire. One just timed out and the other looked heavily modified.
That is to say, I didn't have what I'd consider a statistically relevant sample set to test against, so please report any false {positives,negatives} you encounter.
