ClamAV 0.95rc1

Clam Antivirus è un toolkit anti-virus open source (GPL) per sistemi UNIX. Lo scopo principale di questo software è l’integrazione con i software server di posta elettronica (in particolare per la scansione degli allegati).
Il pacchetto fornisce un servizio di tipo multi-thread flessibile e scalabile, uno scansionatore a riga di comando e uno strumento per l’aggiornamento automatico da Internet.
I programmi sono basati su una libreria condivisa distribuita con il pacchetto Clam AntiVirus, utilizzabile con il proprio software.
Da notare che il database dei virus è tenuto costantemente aggiornato.
Ecco l’elenco delle caratteristiche principali:

* scansionatore a riga di comando
* servizio veloce, di tipo multi-thread
* interfaccia milter per sendmail
* aggiornamento del database con supporto alle firme digitali
* libreria di scansione in linguaggio C
* scansione all’accesso (Linux® e FreeBSD®)
* il database dei virus viene aggiornato anche più volte in un giorno (vedere la pagina principale del sito per il numero totale di virus)
* supporto incorporato per RAR (2.0), Zip, Gzip, Bzip2, Tar, MS OLE2,
* file MS CAB, MS CHM (HTML compresso), MS SZDD
* supporto incorporato per mbox, Maildir e file di posta grezzi
* supporto incorporato per i file Portable Executable compressi con UPX, UPX, FSG e Petite

The following are the key features of this release:

* New clamav-milter: The program has been redesigned and rewritten from scratch. The most notable difference is that the internal mode has been dropped which means that now a working clamd companion is required. The milter now also has its own configuration file.
* Clamd extensions: The protocol has been extended to lighten the load that clamd puts on the system, solve limitations of the old protocol, and reduce latency when signature updates are received. Fore more information about the new extensions please see the official documentation and the upgrade notes.
* Improved API: The API used to program ClamAV’s engine (libclamav) has been redesigned to use modern object-oriented techniques and solves various API/ABI compatibility issues between old and new releases. You can find more information in Section 6 of clamdoc.pdf and in the upgrade notes.
* ClamdTOP: This is a new program that allows system administrators to monitor clamd. It provides information about the items in the clamd’s queue, clamd’s memory usage, and the version of the signature database, all in real-time and in nice curses-based interface.
* Memory Pool Allocator: Libclamav now includes its own memory pool allocator based on memory mapping. This new solution replaces the traditional malloc/free system for the copy of the signatures that is kept in memory. As a result, clamd requires much less memory, particularly when signature updates are received and the database is loaded into memory.
* Unified Option Parser: Prior to version 0.95 each program in ClamAV’s suite of programs had its own set of runtime options. The new general parser brings consistency of use and validation to these options across the suite. Some command line switches of clamscan have been renamed (the old ones will still be accepted but will have no effect and will result in warnings), please see clamscan(1) and clamscan –help for the details.

KlamAV 0.46

Novità importante di KlamAV 0.46 è la compatibilità con ClamAV 0.95, di cui teniamo l’ultima versione (0.96rc1 – leggi sopra) nei nostri repository.

Supports:

* On Access Scanning.
* Manual Scanning.
* Quarantine Management.
* Downloading updates
* Mail Scanning (KMail and Ximian Evolution)

Notes:
KlamAV is no longer distributed with a pre-packaged version of ClamAV. This is for considerations of size and convenience. It’s also difficult to keep up with the hectic release schedule of the ClamAV team. If you’d like to see a version of KlamAV with ClamAV still included, drop me a line.
