Show HN: Open Source Antivirus Written in Python3. Need Help and Feedback
- provlem 8y agoHow signature and other data are updated frequently? How is it different from clamav?
- bauripalash 8y agoVirus Signatures are taken from VirusShare.com And it's different from ClamAV because it's written in Python and has own command line user interface
- bausshf 8y agoAs always I'm never a fan of security being open sourced, because it opens up the possibility for people to find work arounds. Ex. say you block Virus X through a specific pattern and then open sourced the algorithm to find the pattern. Now the developer of Virus X can just modify Virus X to not be detected by the algorithm that detected it before. Note: This is strictly a personal opinion about security and I'm sure there pros/cons to both.
- bauripalash 8y agoGoal of my project is to help people understand how actually a antivirus works.
- bausshf 8y agoYes, that is great indeed!
