Re: [SA-list] Anti-virus signature checker

[Julian Carr]

I think I spoke too soon.  I don't see the Symantec checker listed.  Only McAfee and Aladin. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08/15/06 02:05PM >>> Neato torpedo! >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08/15/06 12:50PM >>> A while ago (June) there were some talks about a COM check that would see if your anti-virus product was up-to-date or not. We have a little COM check that is already able to do a little.     * Aladin eSafe:         get the version number from the internet (if they change the look of their website we have a problem)     * Symantec AV:         get the version number from the internet (if they change the look of their website we have a problem)     * CA eTrust (both for the VET and the Innoculate engine)         get the version number from a TXT file they have on the internet     * McAfee (NAI)         get the version number from an INI file they have on the internet         compare that to the version that is in the registry of the system running SA.             * versions are the same gives an up             * versions are different gives a down             * nothing in the registry give an up too All of them (except for CA eTrust which uses FTP) are using the HTTP protocol to get the info from the internet.  This is via a direct connection (NO proxy support!) This is a FIRST version.  We would like to extend the possibilities to more AV products (internet part) and also the local part (get the version numbers on the local system too). So if you have info on were we can find the info (internet & local) for a specific product, then please let us know so we can extend/enhance this check.
