June 24 – 2:00pm “ClamAV Basics, Common Usage, Tips & Tricks”
The presentation will provide a broad introduction to Clam AntiVirus, its main features and advantages. Tomasz will focus his remarks on the following aspects of ClamAV:
Software design and core components (libclamav, clamd, clamscan, clamdscan, freshclam);
Installation
Virus detection techniques
Detection of Phishing and Potentially Unwanted Applications
Clamscan, clamd & clamdscan in practice
Configuration tips and best practices
Troubleshooting
June 26 – 2:00pm “Introduction to the ClamAV Engine and Signatures.”
The presentation, aimed toward System Administrators and advanced users, will be an introduction to ClamAV internals. Tomasz will discuss how the scan engine works and how to create various types of signatures, including phishing and logical signatures. Although the official virus databases are released on a regular basis by ClamAV Researchers, the ability to use in-house or 3rd party developed signatures makes the system highly flexible. Tomasz will also discuss the basic API and how it can be used to perform file scanning.
