You might want to read through this thread from almost a year ago: <http://lurker.clamav.net/message/20130613.105112.61623690.en.html>.
I’ll just add my two cents that in general, the database is only as complete as users want it to be. If you want to see more support for your platform, you need to take a proactive role in tracking down and submitting samples to clamav.net, virustotal.com and probably other sources the Sourcefire signature team can draw on. I say this because the OS X community I belong to was in a similar situation not too many years ago. All the discussions in the world didn’t help matters until some of us volunteered our time to actively seek out such samples. One even qualified to write signatures as an adjunct to the signature team. F-Secure is a for profit company and I’m sure not in the habit of sharing everything they find and analyze. Just because they’ve developed techniques to detect such things doesn’t mean they’ve shared that information with the competition, especial one that’s free. -Al- -- Al Varnell Mountain View, CA On Tue, May 27, 2014 at 08:00 PM, R Secrist wrote: > > There do not appear to be any definitions for Solaris OS in the database > doing an inspection of virus names using: > > sigtool --list-sigs="C:\wherever\ClamWinPortable\Data\db\main.cvd" > sigtool --list-sigs="C:\wherever\ClamWinPortable\Data\db\daily.cld" > > I see virus names starting "Andr.", "DOS.", "Java.", "JS.","OSX.", "Win," > etc. that seem pretty obvious, but no "Solaris." or "Sun." etc. There are > a few "UNIX." but those seem to be for Linux, nor do any known Solaris > virus signatures seem to turn up in the database (e.g. > http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/worm_solaris_wanuk_a.shtml) Likewise there > don't seem to be that many viruses for Solaris either, so it could be > covered under some generic name and I am just missing it. > > Does anyone know that there are in fact Solaris OS virus signatures in the > ClamAV database? > > Thanks! > rcs _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
