[Clamav-users] KlamAV-0.02 Released

2004-09-10 Thread Robert Hogan

KlamAV-0.02 has just been released. 

KlamAV brings ClamAV functionality to the KDE desktop user. In other words, 
it's a front-end.

Features include support for:

-On Access Scanning. (clamd)
-Manual Scanning. (clamscan)
-Context-Menu Scanning (clamscan)
-Quarantine Management.
-Downloading updates  (freshclam)
-Mail Scanning (KMail and Ximian Evolution) (klammail - part of KlamAV)
-Automated Compilation and Installation
-ClamAV 0.75.1 pre-packaged
-dazuko-2.0.3 pre-packaged

I understand the decision to pre-package ClamAV might be a bit controversial, 
but KlamAV requires a small modification to clamd for real-time scanning (one 
line that's a bit of any ugly hack and will be remedied in future). The 
automated install script allows you to select only clamd for installation if 
you so wish. 

The project is now in alpha/pre-beta but is almost fully functional.

RPMs are not available at this time, though if anyone is interested in 
building any please let me know.

KlamAV-0.02 can be downloaded at:
http://www.sf.net/projects/klamav


Regards,
Robert

Re: [Clamav-users] clamav, clamd, what's next?

2005-01-01 Thread Robert Hogan

My project KlamAV is an attempt to make ClamAV user-friendly for the KDE 
desktop. If you use KDE, KlamAV can plug into KMail (or any MUA with filter 
rules) and scan your mail as you download it.  It also scans a lot faster 
than the builtin clamav support in KMail, as it uses the clamd daemon to 
scan. Though still fairly basic, KlamAV has auto-scan (clamd) support, 
quarantining, and the automating of downloading updates (really just a 
frontend to freshclam's own functionality). You can take a further look at :

Re: [Clamav-users] Strange behavior of ArchiveMaxCompressionRatio

2005-02-01 Thread Robert Hogan
> >Well, the calculations are bad...

> That's all? :)

Maxim,

The calculations from unzip are 'correct' insofar as the percentage in your
output represents:

(unzipped size - zipped size)/(unzipped size) * 100

so:

874796  Defl:N   151104  83%  04-09-04 13:53  f9d40334  file_name

= (874796 - 151104)/874796 * 100 = 82.7 %

 This isn't a ratio of unzipped size to zipped size. It's more a roundabout
way of saying the zipped file represents 17 % of the size of the unzipped
file.

Common sense suggests that the ratio should be the number of times the size
of the zipped file divides into the unzipped file and this is what clamav
looks for:

I don't  see any entry in your unzip output that beats a ratio of 300
though.

Re: [Clamav-users] Kmail Filters

2005-02-09 Thread Robert Hogan
>I want to set up a filter in Kmail to scan my email for viruses like I have
>spamassasian checking for spam. Can someone tell me how to do that?

As other users have pointed out you can use the anti-virus wizard that's
built into the latest versions of KMail. Another alternative, is to use the
mail-scanning agent that comes with KlamAV, a KDE gui frontend for Clamav.
The setup process is performed by KlamAV itself, so it should require
minimum fuss to get it going. Because KlamAV uses clamd the scanning is
faster and less intrusive than the clamscan scanning set up by KMail's
wizard.

I should probably declare my interests by saying that I'm the author of
KlamAV. So if you do try it, I'd welcome any feedback.

Thanks,
Robert

Re: [clamav-users] KMail and ClamAV

2003-06-19 Thread Robert Hogan
If you have clamav-0.54 you could try using [ahem -plug warning] clamdmail 
(clamdmail.sourceforge.net). To integrate it with Kmail click Settings, 
Configure Filters, for criteria use  less than 80, and  select 
'pipe through' as your filter action with the following command:

clamdmail --spam --quar=/home/alfredo/quarantine &1>2

This will check for spam (if you have spamassassin set up) and quarantine any 
infected mail as well as informing you that you received an infected mail...

(oh and it assumes you have clamd running too..)

In Settings, Configure KMail, Notifications, there's an entry for executing a 
program when mail arrives. Try putting something like the following in there:

/usr/local/bin/clamscan --quiet -r --mbox  --move=/home/alfredo/quarantine

by default clamd uses a unix socket, if you edit clamd.conf (man clamd.conf) 
you can get it to listen on a tcp port.

you can then telnet to this port:

telnet localhost 1234

and issue your commands...

I don't think it's possible to telnet to a unix socket from the command 
line...

When you unembed the exe from the attachment does it still contain the full
eicar string?

I meant of course:  ' When you unembed the exe from the *spreadsheet* does it 
still contain the full eicar string?'
