Why would I want OSS Discovery to ignore, or exclude, certain directories from a scan?

0

Some directories – such as the Recycled Bin and many system directories on Linux – will not contain any relevant information not already gained when OSS Discovery detects the operating system. Scanning these directories increases the scan time. Additionally, many of these types of directories may be protected from scanning unless you’re the system admin or root user.

*Sadly, we had to bring back ads too. Hopefully more targeted.
