Re: Malware URI list

[AK <platsakos () gmail com>]

Hello everyone,
EICAR.com is more of a file that you use to check if your scanner is
working (e.g. in a web application binary upload form) than a file to
check actual detection rate) can be mitigated somewhat by writing simple
malware-like software yourself (nothing fancy) and then, once you have
an executable, try a few packers on it, encode it etc. While admittedly
this is not as thorough as using a huge list of recent malware, you will
get a bird's-eye view about that AV do (and most importunately do not)
detect.
