[clamav-users] Untit Testing

2012-02-06 Thread Reynolds, David C.
I've recently installed .97.3 on an SGI Origin 3000 running TRIX v6.5.28 using 
gcc 3.2.1. (I did need to make some source file modifications).   I was able to 
run clamscan against a directory seemingly without error.
 
However, I would like to run some tests which would indicate catching an 
infected file without actually putting an infected file on our system.  This is 
a totally Trusted Irix environment. 
 
I've had problems trying to build the check package as recommended in the 
ClamAV documentation in this IRIXS environment.  Any suggestions as to how run 
some unit tests that would indicate that an infected file would actually be 
found?

Thats a weird version number. GCC 3.3, 3.4 was working I think, I don't think I 
ever used gcc 3.2.1, it might be buggy or might not be.

You can scan the files in test/, or contrib/testfiles. Those are not actual 
viruses, just the ClamAV-Test-File.

You could use the Eicar test file. It's not a virus and meant to check
if a/your virusscanner is working.

Use eicar, the test virus:
