But, can I say "clamav does not scan for linux viruses" or is that
not true?
there is talented fools on every distros
whats the point of tripwire when upstream management md5 sum there
installs ?
okay windows have there problems aswell to allow unsigned installs to
be allowed, but in linux its still need atleast root access to let
this happend
elf scanner in clamav might be waste of resources
For a strict definition of 'virus' that may be true - but you can run
malware without being root... You can do a lot of bad stuff from a PHP
or Python script (or user level executable)! You can easily have a
trojan script or executable which participates in DDoS attacks or
spamming without having any privileged access. It may not run as root,
but it can still send emails or issue HTTP requests or scan for Heartbleed.
Just because everything doesn't run as root, it doesn't mean that Linux
is immune from malware.
