My goal is to try to do something practical just on data compression. I have neither knowledge nor experience about malicious software mentioned. You may be comfortable about this. https://www.linkedin.com/in/hakan-abbas-178b5852/

I was referring to the practice of downloading executables from such forums in general, not to your post specifically. I have no reason to suspect that this particular post contains any malware. But in most parts of the software world, Open Source has been the standard for experimental publications for a long, long time, and seeing a forum depart so strongly from that standard is certainly surprising, and does of course have security implications when this practice is used at scale.
