Hello,

Thank you for the answer.

There is probably something missing in the doc, because the signature is not properly working with the current clamav release 0.98.7

I tried the following signature:

testsig:0:*:!(6e6f74)62616466756e6374696f6e28
_______________not_______badfunction(

If I scan with clamav 0.98.7 I still get a match for

notbadfunction(

While if I use clamav 0.99-rc1 it works as expected.


Do you think this is a bug in 0.98.7, or it is just not specified in the doc, that this requires version 0.99 ?

Regards,
Deyan

You should be able to write something like:

!(not)badfunction(


FYI, PCRE support is coming in ClamAV 0.99. There is a release candidate
here if you want to try it: http://www.clamav.net/downloads

Finally, consider sharing your signature with the community, if possible:

Hello,

I have a signature, which matches bad things, but also is giving me a lot
of false positives. The reason for this is, that the bad code is actually
subset of the good code, which gives me the false positive.

What I mean:

I have signature, which matches for example:

badfunction(

however, this signature also matches:

notbadfunction(

which is giving me the false positive.

If I assume that, the first one is subsig0 and the second is subsig1

If I make LDB signature like this:

testsig;Target:0;0&1=0;subsig0;subsig1

This will eliminate the false positives, but will also stop catching files
which contains both of them, which is also bad.

What I am trying to achieve is the following:

file containing:
==========
badfunction(
==========
    -  should match as infected

file containing:
==========
notbadfunction(
==========
    -  should NOT match

file containing:
==========
badfunction(
notbadfunction(
==========
   - should match as infected.


Can anyone give me a tip, how can I make this ?

Thank you,

Regards,
Deyan
