Overview ======== We are happy to release a new version (v0.2) of mod_antimalware_lite, an open-source extension to Apache that will block infected web pages from being served to users. Mod_antimalware_lite can help prevent your web site from getting blacklisted by major search engines and browsers in the case that web pages get "infected" due to malicious user generated content, web application vulnerabilities, infected ad networks, and other such causes. For more information about how web pages get infected, resulting in drive-by-downloads, and the growth of web-based malware, register for our free white paper at: https://wam.dasient.com/wam/info?prod=18 Download / Trial: =============== You can download mod_antimalware_lite from sourceforge: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/modantimalware/mod_antimalware_lite_sourceforge.tar.gz Click "Sign Up" at the Dasient web site at http://wam.dasient.com/wam/partners to create a "Webmaster / Developer" account to get trial malware monitoring to try out mod_antimalware_lite. The web server module works in conjunction with Dasient's monitoring service to identify infected web pages and block them from being served. What is mod_antimalware_lite? ============================= The mod_antimalware_lite web server module is an Apache module that can be used to automatically block "infected" web pages from being served. Infected web pages may have malicious content that result in drive-by-downloads when loaded by a browser. Instead of serving infected pages, mod_antimalware_lite will serve a pre-configured HTML message of your choice, such that users will not get infected. The mod_antimalware_lite web server module can be used to help avoid blacklisting by search engines, browsers, desktop anti-virus packages and also gives a webmaster control of the messaging seen by users when a web site infection happens (e.g., in contrast to having users otherwise see a "Reported Attack Site / red screen of death" in Firefox). The mod_antimalware_lite module is a simple, open-source version of Dasient's full-fledged mod_antimalware module that can quarantine and strip out malicious code on infected web pages, while continuing to serve the 'good' parts of the page instead of blocking them completely, as mod_antimalware_lite does. This is our v0.2 beta release of mod_antimalware_lite. We look forward to your thoughts, feedback, suggestions, and contributions to make it easier to both install and use over time!
