The timestamp check is the Macaron specific implementation of the timestamp heuristic that was developed as part of my research thesis. The check compares the published time of the Maven package recorded on the Maven Central registry to the time identified by Macaron's Commit Finder. Once the difference in the time is identified, it persists all the packages with a time difference greater than 24 hours onto the database as potential malicious packages. This is following the findings from the extensive benchmark analysis done as part of the research thesis. Signed-off-by: Anshul Dadhwal <anshul.dadhwal1@gmail.com>
