NAME

       clamav-unofficial-sigs - Download, test, and install third-party ClamAV
       signature databases.

SYNOPSIS

       clamav-unofficial-sigs [options]

DESCRIPTION

       clamav-unofficial-sigs is  a  script  that  updates  the  SaneSecurity,
       MSRBL,  SecuriteInfo,  MalwarePatrol,  and  OITC  third-party signature
       databases for ClamAV.

OPTIONS

       This script follows the standard GNU command line syntax.  A summary of
       the options is shown below.

       -b     Add   a   bypass  signature  entry  to  local.ign  in  order  to
              temporarily resolve a false-positive issue  with  a  third-party
              signature.   The  script  will  monitor  any entries it makes to
              local.ign and will automatically remove bypass entries if either
              the  original  signature  has  been modified or removed from the
              database.

       -c FILE-NAME
              Source configuration information from a different file.

       -d     Decode a hexadecimal encoded string or an individual ClamAV 3rd-
              party  signature  for  viewing.   This  will  not  decode  image
              signatures nor the official signatures.

       -e     Encode a entire input string in hexadecimal for signature  usage
              in any *.ndb database.

       -f     Encode  a  formated  input  string  in hexadecimal that contains
              spacing field ’{}, (), *’, without encoding the spacing  fields,
              for signature usage in any ’*.ndb’ database.

       -g FILE-NAME
              Verify  the  GPG  signature for a specific SaneSecurity database
              file.  Only specify the filename as listed in the  configuration
              file and the script will search for it in the work directory.

       -h     Print the script help and usage information.

       -i     Print system and script configuration information.

       -m     Make  a hexadecimal signature database file (*.ndb) from a clear
              text ascii file.  Provides support for both full  and  formatted
              signatures.   Additional  information is provided when using the
              flag.

       -r     Remove  the  clamav-unofficial-sigs  script  and  all   of   its
              associated  files,  databases  and  work  directories  from  the
              system.

       -s FILE-NAME
              Test the integrity of  a  third-party  signature  database  with
              clamscan.    Only   specify   the  filename  as  listed  in  the
              configuration file and the script will search for it in the work
              directory.

       -t     If   HAM   directory   scanning   is  enabled  in  the  script’s
              configuration file, then output the  names  of  any  third-party
              signatures that triggered during the HAM directory scan.

       -v     Print the script version and date information.
