How does one Obtain ClamAV Linux Anvi-Virus Database File Updates for Systems not Connected to the internet? All our systems are air-gapped (not internet connected) so as ClamAV provides Linux Anvi-Virus Database File Updates for viruses as they are identified, what link or website can I connect to download the latest signature files?
https://www.clamav.net/downloads says: If your network is segmented or the end hosts are unable to reach the internet, you should investigate setting up a private local mirror using the cvdupdate tool. https://docs.clamav.net/appendix/CvdPrivateMirror.html cvdupdate will store not just the current database files, but the cdiffs too, which the client machibes can use to update their database files. Don't use a web browser, wget or curl to download the updates; that will get you blocked, since there has been a history of misuse. Only freshclam and cvdupdate are exempt from this block. Unless you allow sneaker-net - USB sticks and the like - you should not actually need an anti-malware app on your air-gapped machines. -- Andrew C.
