Hi Everyone, The next ClamAV Webcast will be on Wednesday 4th March at 1800UTC: 10 AM PST, 1 PM EST, 6 PM GMT, 7 PM CEST.
The talk, given by Alain Zidouemba of Sourcefire, will be an introduction to writing ClamAV Signatures. The talk will take about an hour. The talk will be technically advanced, and is aimed toward system administrators and developers. As with other anti-virus software, the engine for ClamAV has pattern matching technology at its heart. Updates to the malware signatures are released on a regular basis by ClamAV Researchers. However, what if no signatures are available to detect a given piece of malware, or if updates are not coming fast enough? Fortunately, ClamAV signatures are “open” and this enables the administrators to fill in the gap for themselves. This presentation covers the methods behind creating effective malware signatures for ClamAV and introduces the new malware “logical signature” format that makes it even easier to write custom detections. The broadcast will include a Q&A session. For further details, including how to listen to the broadcast and Alain's biography, please visit http://www.clamav.net/2009/02/09/clamav-users’-webcast/ As always this session will be recorded and archived on ClamAV.net.
