Re: AV scanning for file uploads

Hi Gabe, You dont had any problems with on-access scanning and doing at same time http-delivery for these files, or moving them around ? I guess on-access scanning works by only scanning when there is a new file or when an existing file is modified, not actually at read-access ? Cristian

Hi Christian Nothing special, it just runs as a daemon and is configured for on-access scanning. Set up a whole bunch of directories to exclude (like MySQL data directories), but just ensured that temp directories and php session directories are included. Over the years it has quarantined plenty of questionable uploads. You'll have to buy a license for Sophos which can be a pain/expensive, but I suspect ClamAV could work in just the same way, I just can't vouch for it's effectiveness because I have not used it in production.

PHP extension (there is such extension ?) call on-demand ? 2. on demand from CLI (or suing shell_execute) 3. on-access scanning ? Cristian
