[Clamav-devel] zip files within zip files

2004-08-04 Thread Michael Torrie
This was probably already discussed on the list today (I deleted the messages before really reading them) but viruses are now traveling in zip files inside of zip files. This helps defeat the automatic archive scanning that ClamAV and others do. Yet another escalation of the arms race. What can

[Clamav-devel] Suggestion.

2004-08-04 Thread James Courtier-Dutton
I was just thinking about linking my system so that when I see a clamav-db email messsage, I automatically run freshclam. Therefore resulting in the most up to date clamav database as possible. But I thought that this might overload your servers if everyone did the update at exactly the same ti

[Clamav-devel] Clamd support in libclamav

2004-08-04 Thread Aecio F. Neto
Is there any function in libclamav that allows me to call a clamd scan? Would such function be planned if it doesn't exist up to now? I am one of the developers of Dansguardian anti-virus plugin and now we are using libclamav functions to call scanning of files, but we are writing code to provide

[Clamav-devel] rc.clamav script for bsd's

2004-08-04 Thread Matthew Schumacher
I noticed that there isn't a startup script for bsd init in the contrib dir so I thought I would post mine in case you guys want to put it in. I run it on slackware linux, but it should work on any linux and may work on the BSD's as long as they have killall. schu #!/bin/sh # Start/stop/restart

Excellent news! Definitely interested to see your GUI and clamav source changes - please do keep me posted. Still wonder how we can get signatures for all the old resource-fork Mac nasties to make it useful though! regards, Gavin PS - I use clamav-milter on my mail box, so that keeps out all of t

Hi Gavin (and list), I'm nearly finished a GUI for Clamav, the only thing I really have left to do is stress testing and documentation. I've made a few changes to the source code which I plan to release in due course, in order to make it work with resource forkshowever, like you, I don't ha

[Clamav-devel] OSX resource forks

2004-08-04 Thread Gavin Aiken
Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask this but it seemed more of a development question than a user one. I have been testing clamav on OSX and noticed that it does not scan Mac resource forks, only data forks - which is to be expected as it is a unix-level port, and most of the ways to get a
