*** Announcement *** |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ClamAV project is launching a new service called "Third Party web |
|
|
|
|
interface". It will allow selected individuals/organizations to publish |
|
|
|
|
ClamAV Virus Databases (CVD) through the ClamAV mirror network. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you choose to publish your signatures through our Third Party |
|
|
|
|
web interface you will benefit from the following: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- before publishing the signatures, we will test them for |
|
|
|
|
false positives against our false positive file collection. |
|
|
|
|
- before publishing the signatures, we'll verify that the latest two major |
|
|
|
|
versions of ClamAV can load them correctly. |
|
|
|
|
- the signatures will be digitally signed and packaged into a single |
|
|
|
|
.cvd compressed file. |
|
|
|
|
- there will be no ".UNOFFICIAL" suffix in the detection names. |
|
|
|
|
- a custom prefix will be added to the detection names, identifying the |
|
|
|
|
organization which published the signature. |
|
|
|
|
- updates will be distributed both as full CVD files and cdiff |
|
|
|
|
incremental updates. Users will benefit from lower network traffic. |
|
|
|
|
- the .cvd and .cdiff files will be distributed through the |
|
|
|
|
ClamAV mirror network. |
|
|
|
|
- the service should result in faster remediation of false positives. |
|
|
|
|
- ClamAV users will be able to download the third party databases |
|
|
|
|
using freshclam, by adding a single line to freshclam.conf, what |
|
|
|
|
should make signature maintenance significantly easier. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The service is still in beta, you are welcome to contact Luca Gibelli |
|
|
|
|
<luca*clamav.net> if you intend to join the beta program. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We especially welcome those who already distribute their own unofficial |
|
|
|
|
signatures to join. A list of databases distributed by the new service |
|
|
|
|
will be available at http://www.clamav.net/download/cvd/3rdparty |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We will be happy to answer any questions you might have. |
