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.
