Just took a look - it seems that image001.gif is missing the final byte, a value "0x3B" should be at the end of every GIF file. ... I wonder if this is a common occurrence. ...
It seems to be common enough to need to be able to cope with it. I just ran 'locate' on my laptop to find every .gif file on the box, piped the output through 'tail -c1' and 'hexdump -f something' to get the final byte of each file in hex, through a 'perl -ap' one-liner to count the distinct final bytes, and finally through 'sort'. Results from 5970 GIF files: 01 1 3e 1 ad 1 82 7 0a 8 d9 32 00 45 3b 5875 I've almost no idea where all these files came from. Many will have been parts of packages, many will be just interesting images that I grabbed from articles I've read over the years. It's possibile that at least some of them are broken bits from failed browser processes etc. I spent no time looking for clues. Many of the files are very old. The oldest file is 26 years old - as it happens, to the day! Please let me know if I can do any more with this. -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ clamav-users mailing list clamav-users@lists.clamav.net https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml
