Unexplained on the Redirect Target

The article is currently a redirect to malware, but that article does not mention "goat file". I am not sure if there are enough material around this term. A brief lookup on Google and DuckDuckGo gives me the Wiktionary and the Jargon file entries, and that's about it. --Naruyoko (talk) 01:27, 2 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
