• How do I verify the integrity of ClamAV sources?
Using GnuPG you can easily verify the authenticity of your stable release 
downloads by using the following method: Download the Sourcefire VRT key from 
the VRT labs site <http://labs.snort.org/contact.html>. Import the key into 
your local public keyring: $ gpg --import vrt.gpg.

Download the stable release AND the corresponding .sig file to the same 
directory. Verify that the stable release download is signed with the 
Sourcefire VRT key <http://labs.snort.org/contact.html>: $ gpg --verify 
clamav-X.XX.tar.gz.sig

Please note that the resulting output should look like the following:

gpg: Signature made <some date> using DSA key ID 15497F03
gpg: Good signature from Sourcefire VRT <email address>

Where can I find the gpg key for the clamav tarball?  I've poked through the

Wow.  They certainly buried it well enough!  You would think they would put a 
link on the download page or somewhere a bit more visible.  I skimmed through a 
bunch of the documentation previously, but I guess I missed it.  Interesting 
that they don't even mention checking the signature in the install 
instructions.  I even had to dig the sig file out of the sourceforge project 
page.  As far as I can tell, it's not linked from the main site at all.


Hey guys sorry about this, I read the email and thought I responded because I 
started looking into fixing the problem, and got sidetracked with some other 
stuff.

Anyway, we’re going to put it on the main site.  Also going to move the 
downloads off of SourceForge.  No time frame yet.
