protector 1.00.11
protector scans e-mail attachments in order to identify those that could (by nature of their type) contain viruses. more>>
protector scans e-mail attachments in order to identify those that could (by nature of their type) contain viruses or other undesirable content, and replaces them with a warning message. Protector is designed to be used on a unix mail gateway server MS Windows clients by way of a POP3 service. Typically, protector blocks DOS or Windows executables, DLLS etc Files with double extensions like "picture.gif.exe" Visual basic (VB) scripts Word documents that contain macros unrecognised file types ... etc ...
Protector is NOT a virus scanner in the traditional sense: It does NOT scan attachments for virus signatures, but blocks or edits attachments that could contain viruses. So *.exe, *.vba etc attachments dont get through. This means that you dont have to keep protector up to date to stay protected against the growing tide of new viruses and worms.
Protector does not work by blocking listed types, but by blocking a set of listed types.
The logic employed by protector to determine the file types contained in attachments is based on a modified version of the "file" command, and a number of type-specific validation programs - it does not rely on the actual name of the file, or the "content-type" declared in the attachment header. It also looks inside ZIP, TAR and other archive formats, and checks the files contained in them.
Some types of files are allowed through only under certain conditions. The main example being that MS Word documents are blocked if they contain ANY macros, but allowed through otherwise.
Protector grew out of a need to protect a small network that I manage in my spare time from the dangers of e-mail borne viruses and trojans. A number of installations exist round the world and feed back from users has allowed me to improve the system - in terms of reliability, performance, ease of use and the breadth of file types "allowed through". Development is still underway, and a new release will be available shortly that allows a far larger set of file types through, allows scripts to be removed from attachments (eg: JavaScript can be removed from HTML files), and is significantly easier to tailor.
Constructive critisism is warmly invited

POP3 Virus Scanner Proxy 0.4
POP3 Virus Scanner Proxy is a full-transparent proxy daemon which scans all mails for viruses more>>
POP3 Virus Scanner Proxy is a full-transparent proxy daemon which scans all mails for viruses using third party scanners (built-in support for AVPD and Trophie).
You have to set up a port redirection in the linux-netfilter (iptables) so that all connections from e.g. inside your office to any POP3 server outside in the world will not leave your router, but come a local port, on which POP3VScan listens. POP3VScan receives from the linux kernel the original destinations of packets (the POP3 server outside in the world) and will connect to them.
All data we receive from the client will be sent to the server, and vice versa. With a little enhancement: we parse the neccessary parts of the POP3 protocol and when an email is sent from the server, we store it into a file, invoke a virusscanner and send it if it is good, or we just replace it with a virus notification. It should be possible to use all scanners using the scannertype=basic. Also POP3VScan provides scannertype=avpd for high-speed scanning using Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Linux, every C programmer can easily adept other scan-daemons (trophie, sophie, antivir, ...).
Neither the client nor the server has to be configured, none of them will take notice that theres a mailscanner (except the client when he gets a virus notification or if he looks into the header, and the server gets our ip as source).

Viralator Proxy Virus Scanner 0.9.7
Viralator Proxy Virus Scanner is a Perl script that virus scans HTTP/FTP downloads request on a UNIX server. more>>
Viralator is a Perl script that virus scans HTTP/FTP downloads request on a UNIX server after passing through the Squid proxy server.
Even when I implemented virus protection for my network email server we still continued to get the odd virus. Most of the viruses came from people using free webmail accounts like Hotmail or Yahoo and downloading the infected attachments to their machines or through downloading junk.
Rather than block access to the users I decided to look at how we could better protect the network. I looked at a couple of different products both comercial and free but they were either too expensive or did not meet my needs.
That is how Viralator was born. Viralator Proxy Virus Scanner is licenced under the GPL.
Viralator should work in any UNIX system that uses Apache and Squid servers. We have reports about successful instalations on:
- RedHat Linux
- Mandrake Linux
- SuSe Linux
- e-Smith Linux
- Slackware Linux
- Conectiva Linux
- Debian Gnu Linux
Supported Redirectors:
- Squirm
- SquidGuard
- Jesred
Supported Virus Scanners
- AntiVir
- AVP
- RAV
- Inoculate
- Sophos Sweep
- McAfee
- Trend
- Clamav
- Bit Defender (free edition)
The original concept for Viralator came from the Viromat project. Without Viromat the Viralator project would not have had a starting point. We can also thank Ralph Meyer for badgering me into releasing the script under the GPL.
Enhancements:
- Parenthesis are included on the regular expression used to validate URLs.
- The character set checking step, which was not working before last patch released, has been fixed.

Milter-Virus 2.0.0
Milter-Virus is a wrapper that can be used with many commercial and freely available virus scanners. more>>
Milter-virus is not a virus scanner. It is a wrapper that can be used with many commercial and freely available virus scanners. Milter-Virust is written completely in C, and requires (few skills??).
It is run-able with the Milter interface, but then will only scan for "double extensions".
If you wish it to scan for more, you need at Ripmime or other tools to extract files from MIME-encoded emails. You also need a (command-line) virus scanner.
The difference between this program and the original is that this is much more configurable via the config file. The original version has the advantage that it is simpler and easier to bugfix.
Enhancements:
- This is a large update.
- Many problems in the statistik module were fixed.
- Some spam protection features were included.

renattach 1.2.4
renattach is a mail filter that renames/deletes dangerous email attachments. more>>
renattach is a mail filter that renames/deletes dangerous email attachments.
renattach is a fast and efficient UNIX stream filter that can rename or delete potentially dangerous e-mail attachments. The filter is invoked as a simple pipe for use in a wide variety of systems. The kill feature (which eliminates entire messages) can also help sites deal with resource strains caused by modern virus floods.
renattach is written in pure C and can quickly process mail with little overhead. Unlike a conventional virus scanner, there are no specific virus or worm definitions. Instead, renattach identifies potentially dangerous attachments based on file extension and executable encoded body content.
The software is even capable of reading filenames from inside ZIP archives on the fly, without requiring any external software. The self-contained MIME code parses, fully interprets, then rewrites the header of every attached file.
During this process it checks the files extension against a list, and further checks to make sure the filename is not on a banned list. Only after passing through these steps is the MIME header written fresh using a predetermined, known format.
The programs operation is simple: a single mail message is read from stdin, filtered, then written to stdout (or piped to an external command).
Tested under Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Solaris, Mac OS X, OS/2, and Cygwin. This software should compile on any UNIX-like system that has standard C libraries.
Enhancements:
- The --loop option was added, which removes Delivered-To headers from the input message.
- This defends Postfix against a "mail forwarding loop" spam relay trick which could be used when renattach is installed as an smtpd-side content filter.

tcp wrappers 7.6
The tcp_wrappers package allows you to monitor and filter incoming tcp requests. more>>
The tcp_wrappers package allows you to monitor and filter incoming requests for the SYSTAT, FINGER, FTP, TELNET, RLOGIN, RSH, EXEC, TFTP, TALK, and other network services. It provides tiny daemon wrapper programs that can be installed without any changes to existing software or to existing configuration files. The wrappers report the name of the client host and of the requested service. The wrappers do not exchange information with the client or server applications, so it does not impose no overhead on the actual conversation between the client and server applications.
It supports both 4.3BSD-style sockets and System V.4-style TLI. Praise yourself lucky if you dont know what that means.
The package provides tiny daemon wrapper programs that can be installed without any changes to existing software or to existing configuration files. The wrappers report the name of the client host and of the requested service; the wrappers do not exchange information with the client or server applications, and impose no overhead on the actual
conversation between the client and server applications.
Optional features are: access control to restrict what systems can connect to what network daemons; client user name lookups with the RFC 931 etc. protocol; additional protection against hosts that pretend to have someone elses host name; additional protection against hosts that pretend to have someone elses host address.
The programs are very portable. Build procedures are provided for many common (and not so common) environments, and guidelines are provided in case your environment is not among them.
Requirements are that network daemons are spawned by a super server such as the inetd; a 4.3BSD-style socket programming interface and/or System V.4-style TLI programming interface; and the availability of a syslog(3) library and of a syslogd(8) daemon. The wrappers should run without modification on any system that satisfies these requirements. Workarounds have been implemented for several common bugs in systems software.
What to do if this is your first encounter with the wrapper programs: 1) read the tutorial sections for an introduction to the relevant concepts and terminology; 2) glance over the security feature sections in this document; 3) follow the installation instructions (easy or
advanced). I recommend that you first use the default security feature settings. Run the wrappers for a few days to become familiar with their logs, before doing anything drastic such as cutting off access or installing booby traps.
Enhancements:
- Improved the anti source-routing protection. The code in version 7.5 was not as strong as it could be, because I tried to be compatible with Linux. That was a mistake. Sorry for the inconvenience.
-
- The program no longer terminates case of a source-routed connection, making the IP-spoofing code more usable for long-running daemons.
-
- When syslogging DNS hostname problems, always stop after a limited number of characters.
