Peopleperhour antivirus clamd server

About this Repo

This Git repo of the clamd antivirus server that listen to TCP socket for commands.

Why we needed this

This gives us the ability to scan remotely files for known various and sanitize our S3 bucket.

Technology

This is a clamav antivirus running inside a container. This is done in order to scale easily our scanning capacity.

The container is managed by a python supervisor that starts 2 main programs, the freshclam and clamd. The first will update the clam database every FRESHCLAM_UPDATE (default 2) times a day, and the second will start clamav process. Everytime freshclam performs an update it will notify clam of the update to reload the database.

Sending commands.

This container accepts TCP commands, more information about the TCP commands can be found here http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man8/clamd.8.html

KEEP IN MIND: that this container should be reside in your private network because it can be abused by DDoS attack, so please keep this protected.

Simple usage

To use this container just run to start the server

$ docker run -p 3310:3310 Peopleperhour/clam

And then you can telnet and send commands via TCP sockets.
