Clamd client for Erlang

Hunt virus with Erlang and ClamAV

Test it

Install clamav

On Linux

sudo apt-get install clamav-daemon

On OSX

brew install clamav

Configuration

Open the TCP socket in clamd.conf

TCPSocket 3310
TCPAddr 127.0.0.1

Launch it. You can test it with clamdscan

On Linux

sudo /etc/init.d/clamd start

On OSX

sudo /usr/local/sbin/clamd

Unit test

./rebar eunit skip_deps=true

Example

application:start(clamd),
{ok, _} = clamd:ping(), %You can ping it
clamd:transaction(fun(Worker) ->
        clamd:start_stream(Worker),
        clamd:chunk_stream(Worker, "X5O!P%@AP[4\\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}"),
        clamd:chunk_stream(Worker, "$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*"),
        {ok, virus, "Eicar-Test-Signature"} = clamd:end_stream(Worker)
    end).

Clamd can be easily flooded, no more worker than CPU, so poolboy is used, and each stream is handled inside a transaction.

Features and todo

• √ Talking to clamd
• √ Connection pool
• _ One session per stream
• _ Some parameters
