Oh, cool! I thought this file was just prefixed with some random garbage.

Unrelated: I used this to verify that my daily scheduled full scan of my Linux laptop works. This is required by compliance at $WORK. It reports found viruses via the i3-nagbar.




Linux has antivirus software written for it? TIL.


ClamAV is the best known.

Usually, linux antivirus software is not designed to protect the machine itself, instead it is more commonly used by mail and file servers to protect windows clients.


Cool. How many viruses has it picked up?

(Presumably ClamAV?)


Yes, used ClamAV.

None besides this example file.

I use this laptop for $WORK and web browsing, and my warez times are behind me now that the software I want to run is typically open source, and the content I consume can be bought.
