Hi there,
... RAV Antivirus on Windoze or Linuces? Or better, which "solution" do
you prefer under Win / Linuces.
On a whim, I decided I wanted to get a clue on how antivirus for linux was
looking. I work with a group on the undernet that helps users with
viruses and found that we had a link to ravav but no review or
instructions on the software.
Last week I downloaded a trial version of RAV for linux. Ran it on a
Redhat 9 system. Install info is nonexistant. Just had to go with the
redhat intuition.. su root, rpm -i <file.rpm> then rav<tab> to see what
rav* commands were installed. After trying ravav without params, it
belched 2 pages of flags it handles.
I chose to do "ravav -u" updated the definitions. I then ran "ravav --all
--ask --report ~/virusreport.log /"
It works pretty well. I didnt go over the report very closely to compare
what it found to be infected/suspicous to see if it missed anything. Along
it's pathway it ran across my collection of viruses and rol.vbs webpage
copies that reside in my antivirus research directories. I did notice it
detected all of our older removal mirc scripts as suspicous. It also
detected all of those blasted rol.vbs style infection webpages I saved for
examination and abuse reporting. I forget how long it took, I would say a
couple of hours on 2 hard drives, a 30gig and parts of a 10gig hard drive.
I havent had the chance to test it against linux viruses, rootkits or
trojans. It apparently can do ntfs scans as well, but I didnt try this
yet. (it was too late in the night already)
DRACO-
?!
