I downloaded the 64bit Linux build and it has a strange executable called "payload". I moved it out of precautio and still launched the app, and it seems to work fine without this executable. What is this "payload"? Anyone know? A quick search didn't find anything relevant.

Added to the fact that you need a boatload of stuff to even build it [1], and you get an interesting cocktail of mass-exploitation.
