Does anyone know of virus-scanning software which will play on a unix
(sparc-2, sunos 4.1.3) bastion host running with TIS Firewall Toolkit.
The goal is to scan ftp'd data.
I'm not aware of anything that can check for PC or MAC viruses while
the file is on a UNIX host.
The big problem I see is that ftp'd data is usually not in executible
form, it's usually zip'ed, uuencoded, or at least has gone through
some sort of compression algorithm. Standard virus scanning packages
just can't take into consideration all the modifications a file goes
through when it's compressed, so I doubt that this sort of virus
scanning can be done.
