Hi Folks,
It's been awhile since I was a member and posted to the Sanesecurity list,
I hope all is well on the spam fighting front. I am posting a message now
because I've had a few requests over the past several months to make some
updates to the clamav-unofficial-sigs script, and I've finally found some
time to do that.
With that said, here are the script updates from the CHANGELOG:
Version 3.7.2 (updated 2013-08-25)
- Added Sanesecurity signature whitelist "sigwhitelist.ign2" file
to the list of default databases in the config file.
- Added "-w" flag to support adding signature whitelist entries in
"my-whitelist.ing2" file in the newer ClamAV IGN2 format. Do
not manually add or remove whitelist entries from this file,
the script will automatically remove whitelist entries when the
offending signatures have been modified or removed from the
third-party database.
- DEPRECATED the "-b" (signature bypass) flag. Although still
supported, it is highly recommend that you instead use the new
"-w" flag, which supports the newer ClamAV IGN2 signature
whitelist format.
- Anchored grep searches when using the "-b" flag in order to
more exactly match signature searches. Requested by Paul Wise.
- Added rsync and curl timeout variables to the configuration
file to allow the script user to define custom connect and
overall download timeout values. Requested by Paul Wise.
- Added a "setmode" variable to the script's configuration file to
allow the script user to enable or disable the "chmod" command
usage on the signature files and directory. Requested by Paul Wise.
- Added detail to the config file regarding correct file name
spelling, adding only relevant signature file names to the
appropriate sections of the config file, and not placing
anything other than correctly spelled signature file names
inside the quoted signature name sections of the config file.
- Modified "add_dbs" section of the script to properly retrieve
http downloaded signature database files on first-time run.
Issue reported by Blaine Fleming.
- Changed script database reporting to reflect the correct author.
- Updated my contact and script download information in all files
and updated "man" pages to reflect flag changes and additions.
The updated script can be downloaded from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/unofficial-sigs
All the best!
Bill
