Managing false positives

[dwreski]

I have a joomla website that uses templates to manage some files, including .htaccess. amwscan identified the word "exploit" within this file, so consequently it considers it to be a risk (which is ridiculous). However, I obviously don't want to add this file to the whitelist because it could someday contain a real threat. It also can't be edited because the next time the file is saved, it will be overwritten by the template process. I also don't want to modify the original template, or it will create problems during the next upgrade.

How can I bypass/ignore this file for the word "exploit" but also perhaps create a signature of this file to monitor changes as well as look for other modifications or potential exploits?

Is it possible to whitelist the word "exploit" for an individual file?

How do I get a list of all the exploits?
