About
Open-source malware engine with a command-line scanner, library and daemon. Scan files, archives or uploaded bytes on your own machines after updating signatures with FreshClam. It does not provide URL reputation or complete endpoint protection; daemon access needs network isolation.
What you can do with it
- Scan uploaded files for malware before making them available to users
- Check directories and archives locally without uploading them to a vendor
- Stream file bytes to a private clamd service for antivirus inspection
