Hi there,

Hi,

I understand ClamAV could be cross-compiled to run on ARM platform.

I would also expect that it could be compiled natively on said ARM platform. ;-)

My questions is more related to the virus database/signature files.

I am assuming the existing virus database is for x86 architectures (Intel or AMD CPUs).

Since ARM binaries are different from x86 binaries, can I assume different database/signature files would be needed for ARM platforms?

I don't know.

But I have two thoughts.

1) Do you still want to scan for the same viruses for other platforms? If so, I'd think you would want the same definitions. You would also want additional definitions for the local platform.

2) Are the virus definitions subject to big-endian vs little-endian byte ordering? Or are they agnostic?

I don't know.  But I hope to learn by watching and reading this thread.
