Compile Clamav For Mac



ClamXAV is a highly trusted anti-virus and malware scanner for macOS. It detects threats and keeps the Mac in your home clean, safe and virus-free. It also ensures you don’t pass on security threats and nasty viruses to anyone else.

  1. So now some explanation. In my previous post, I explained roughly how to compile Claws on Mac OS X. Since then, I have successfully embedded the whole application in a bundle, and made an image of it. More information are available on the developper page. Next step: recompile using GTK+ natively on Mac OS X.
  2. Autotools (Automake, Autoconf, M4, pkg-config, Libtool) are now required in order to build ClamAV-devel from the Git sources, because the files generated by these tools have been removed from the Git repository. By yourself you have to generate a pakage of files (configure, configure.ac, Makefile.in, Makefile.am, ) for running./configure.
  3. ClamXav, the free virus scanner for Mac OS X, received a fresh update today featuring a bunch of tweaks and fixes, and a new ClamAV engine (the heart and soul of the app that helps it keep your Mac healthy and secure). Thanks to the ClamAV open source antivirus engine, ClamXav has the ability to detect both.

  • Install Homebrew


    Paste that in a macOS Terminal or Linux shell prompt.

    The script explains what it will do and then pauses before it does it. Read about other installation options.

  • What Does Homebrew Do?


    Homebrew installs the stuff you need that Apple (or your Linux system) didn’t.

  • Homebrew installs packages to their own directory and then symlinks their files into /usr/local.

  • Homebrew won’t install files outside its prefix and you can place a Homebrew installation wherever you like.

  • It’s all Git and Ruby underneath, so hack away with the knowledge that you can easily revert your modifications and merge upstream updates.

  • Homebrew complements macOS (or your Linux system). Install your RubyGems with gem and their dependencies with brew.

  • “To install, drag this icon…” no more. Homebrew Cask installs macOS apps, fonts and plugins and other non-open source software.

Clam AntiVirus (ClamAV) is a free, cross-platform antivirus tool-kit able to detect many types of malicious software, including viruses. One of its main uses is on mailservers as a server-side email virus scanner. The application was developed for Unix and has third party versions available for AIX, BSD, HP-UX, LINUX, MAC OS X, openVMS, OSF (Tru64) and Solaris.Here in this section we will try to automate the entire Process of clamAv using cronjob.We are using Red-hat enterprises Linux platform to test this.

Step 1: Install ClamAV

We can use yum command to install clamav in the server.

# yum install clamav clamav-db clamd

Try to start the clamav by typing the command below.

# /etc/init.d/clamd start

This automatically sets up a daily cron job which runs fresh clam to update virus definitions.

Step 2 : Create new cron jobs to run daily virus scans

First we need to create a file clamscan_daily in cron.daily folder.It will help us to paste our script in this file,all the files or scripts in this folder will run automatically daily.

Create a clamscan_daily file in the folder cron.daily

#vi /etc/cron.daily/clamscan_daily

Paste the below script in the file and save.

#!/bin/bash

# email subject

Compile Clamav For Mac

SUBJECT=”VIRUS DETECTED ON `hostname`!!!”

# Email To ?

EMAIL=”alert@domain.com”

# Log location

LOG=/var/log/clamav/scan.log

check_scan () {

# Check the last set of results. If there are any “Infected” counts that aren’t zero, we have a problem.

if [ `tail -n 12 ${LOG} | grep Infected | grep -v 0 | wc -l` != 0 ]

then

Compile

EMAILMESSAGE=`mktemp /tmp/virus-alert.XXXXX`

echo “To: ${EMAIL}” >> ${EMAILMESSAGE}

echo “From: alert@domain.com” >> ${EMAILMESSAGE}

echo “Subject: ${SUBJECT}” >> ${EMAILMESSAGE}

echo “Importance: High” >> ${EMAILMESSAGE}

echo “X-Priority: 1” >> ${EMAILMESSAGE}

echo “`tail -n 50 ${LOG}`” >> ${EMAILMESSAGE}

sendmail -t < ${EMAILMESSAGE}

fi

}

clamscan -r / –exclude-dir=/sys/ –quiet –infected log=${LOG}

Step 3 : set-up proper permission to the file

#chmod +x /etc/cron.hourly/clamscan_hourly

This steps will help to setup automation of clamav in the server and reports are send directly to the email given in the script.
