AV Scanner

Anti-virus and malware scanning for batch processing, CI, or other automated contexts.

Run the anti-virus and malware detectors ClamAV (clamscan) and linux-malware-detect (maldet) against a single directory of files, print the generated reports, and exit with 0 if no malware detected, otherwise exit non-zero.

Basic Usage

Assuming you have Docker installed, simply clone this repository, and then run:

export SCAN_DIR=/path/to/directory
make scan

This will build the docker image, mount SCAN_DIR and run the scanners.

You can trust the exit code so you could also write something like this in bash without fear:

export SCAN_DIR=/path/to/directory
if ! make scan; then
	echo "Malware detected."
else
	echo "No malware detected."

TODO

• Set up CI to publish a new docker image, with the updated signatures each day, so users can just docker pull samsalisbury/av-scanner:latest and always have the latest signatures ready.
