💖 clamav-unofficial-sigs(8) 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because this one is a whole vibe. this is the clamav-unofficial-sigs manual page — yes, that's the manual name, it lives in section 8 of your man pages, and it is literally the group chat you never knew your antivirus needed. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

clamav-unofficial-sigs — download, test, and install third-party ClamAV signature databases. no cap, that's the whole job. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

clamav-unofficial-sigs [options]

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

clamav-unofficial-sigs is your lowkey genius bestie for downloading, testing, and updating third-party signature databases — the ones handed over by Sanesecurity, FOXHOLE, OITC, Scamnailer, BOFHLAND, CRDF, Porcupine, Securiteinfo, MalwarePatrol, Yara-Rules Project, etc. etc. etc. 🫶

and like… it doesn't just do signatures. it will also generate and install your cron, logrotate, and man files. it's giving personal assistant. it's giving main character energy. 👑

🔥 UPDATES 🔥

💅 OPTIONS 💅

this script follows the standard GNU command line syntax. as it should. iconic behavior only.

Usage: clamav-unofficial-sigs.sh  [OPTION] [PATH|FILE]
  • -c, --config — use a specific configuration file or directory, eg: '-c /your/dir' or ' -c /your/file.name'. ⚠️ note: if a directory is specified, that directory must contain atleast: master.conf, os.conf or user.conf. default directory: /etc/clamav-unofficial-sigs
  • -F, --force — force all databases to be downloaded. heads up bestie, this could cause ip to be blocked 😭
  • -h, --help — display this script's help and usage information. the classic.
  • -V, --version — output script version and date information.
  • -v, --verbose — be verbose, enabled when not run under cron. spill the tea, queen. 🍓
  • -s, --silence — only output error messages, enabled when run under cron. quiet luxury. 🤫
  • -d, --decode-sig — decode a third-party signature either by signature name (eg: Sanesecurity.Junk.15248) or hexadecimal string. this flag will 'NOT' decode image signatures. 💀
  • -e, --encode-string — hexadecimal encode an entire input string that can be used in any '*.ndb' signature database file.
  • -f, --encode-formatted — hexadecimal encode a formatted input string containing signature spacing fields '{}, (), *', without encoding the spacing fields, so that the encoded signature can be used in any '*.ndb' signature database file.
  • -g, --gpg-verify — GPG verify a specific Sanesecurity database file, eg: '-g filename.ext' (do not include file path). 🔐
  • -i, --information — output system and configuration information for viewing or possible debugging purposes.
  • -m, --make-database — make a signature database from an ascii file containing data strings, with one data string per line. additional information is provided when using this flag. ✨
  • -t, --test-database — Clamscan integrity test a specific database file, eg: '-t filename.ext' (do not include file path).
  • -o, --output-triggered — if HAM directory scanning is enabled in the script's configuration file, then output names of any third-party signatures that triggered during the HAM directory scan.
  • -w, --whitelist <signature-name> — adds a signature whitelist entry in the newer ClamAV IGN2 format to 'my-whitelist.ign2' in order to temporarily resolve a false-positive issue with a specific third-party signature. script added whitelist entries will automatically be removed if the original signature is either modified or removed from the third-party signature database. so tidy. so thoughtful. 🧚
  • --check-clamav — if ClamD status check is enabled and the socket path is correctly specifiedthen test to see if clamd is running or not. (yes, "specifiedthen" — we keep it exactly as the elders wrote it, fr fr 🙈)
  • --install-all — install and generate the cron, logroate and man files, autodetects the values based on your config files.
  • --install-cron — install and generate the cron file, autodetects the values based on your config files.
  • --install-logrotate — install and generate the logrotate file, autodetects the values based on your config files.
  • --install-man — install and generate the man file, autodetects the values based on your config files.
  • --remove-script — remove the clamav-unofficial-sigs script and all of its associated files and databases from the system. it's the "we're not together anymore" button. 😭💀
