I know that some of folks don't think that doing virus detection with and IDS is a good idea, but Victor Julien and I have developed a preprocessor that can detect virus activity in network traffic, using a clamav c function and the clamav virus database. On to the preproc, you can enable
Wow - freaky! Have you got any stats on how such a preprocessor affects Snort? e.g. how much more CPU/memory load, FP rates, etc. As far as FP rates go, I mean as it's "just" an AV preprocessor (now there's an understatement!), I assume it isn't also a SMB preprocessor - so it isn't translating raw network data back into files before letting ClamAV loose on it - so the chances for FP must be higher due to that. - -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
