Hello all,
So I have been seeing all these people putting together 3rd party
signatures for clamav, and been quite pleased with the community effort
that has sprung up around this. My only thought on seeing all of this
was that there was no simple, freshclam like method for grabbing all of
these 3rd party signatures and letting clamav know to use them. So, I
wrote one.
It is still what I would consider alpha code - it basically works, but
there are several stub functions left in, the logging code is
nonexistant, and there is no support for things like http proxies with
or without authentication. I think it's going to be relatively easy to
add that on, but I wanted a little feedback before getting too much
farther down this road. There are also no comments at all, so I hope
people who want to debug can read my perl :)
The script and sample config file (config file, heh - list of urls) is
available at http://people.debian.org/~sgran/getsanesigs-0.1.tar.gz - I
should probably come up with a more generic name before I call it beta
software as well. Suggestions for names, complaints about code quality,
etc are all welcome.
Thanks all,
Did you include a randomizer so everyone doesn't hit Steve's server on
the hour? :) I provide a feed for a URLBL list and it's surprising how
many people cron a job to run on the hour.
