Node.js based simulator for ClamD.
While developing code which typically runs on a server and interacts with ClamD, the ClamAV daemon, via 127.0.0.1:3310 I hit issues when testing the integration with ClamD.
We didn't want to expose a ClamD server on the network as it has a SHUTDOWN command, which isn't great to expose, and local config would have to redirect to that server.
I also develop on a system that already has a running AV that isn't Clam and didn't want to run two.
So the easy fix was to make a mocked version of ClamD for my application to talk to, which is what Clamshell is.
Currently it only has a couple of basic ClamD commands implemented as those are the only ones my application code uses. My application code also runs a test scan streaming Eicar to check ClamD is running properly, so Clamshell currently, crudely, checks for this and returns the expected result.
Either download this repository and run:
node clamshell.js
Or use npm and install it globally:
npm install -g clamshell
- Implement all clamd commands: http://linux.die.net/man/8/clamd
- Sort out the stream port allocation to make it actually work for concurrent streams
- Look at adding more options to the virus-scanner.js
- AVG backend: http://faqbay.com/faq/how-use-avg-command-line-scan
- Prompt on command line for return value?
- Support scanning of buffered data better (currently stream-server sets the scan message for every data chunk passed in)
- Add ability to override config via command startup args, e.g.
$ clamshell --port=1234 --streamPortRange=1000:1010
