I had a couple of basic questions:
a) Of the different signature formats in the cvd file(like mdb, ldb,
ndb)
which format does clamav use?
all off them
Does it pick a format(ldb, mdb, ndb
etc.) depending on the nature of the file under inspection?
nope
b) I guess ldb files are tough to create automatically. If thats
true, then
is the ldb file as complete as the mdb file?
nope, database extension is just a format type, so clamav api knows how
to use the database content
c) Which signature database(ldb or ndb or mdb etc.) is best tradeoff
between size of database Vs false positives?
impossible to say, since there is so much one can do in each database
type, and it will be compareing oranges and apples, it will not say with
ones have most c++ vitamins anyway
