NOD32 for Linux File Server

NOD32 Antivirus for Linux File Servers (LFS) is based on the award winning NOD32 scanning engine. The highest scanning rate and the unprecedented detection track record of this product are combined with the lowest system footprint. The latest generation of the NOD32 Antivirus system includes advanced heuristics with their unique capability to detect most new viruses even before a signature update for them is released. Running seamlessly on all mainstream Linux distributions (RedHat, Mandrake, SuSE, Debian and others) and FreeBSD, NOD32 is the ideal choice for real-time resident or on-demand protection of your Linux File System Servers. If you expect stabilty, speed, detection and scalability, NOD32 for LFS is your choice.

Key features

The NOD32 Scanning Engine algorithms provide both the highest detection rate and the fastest scanning times. User-friendly installation and simple configuration. Does not require external libraries or programs except for libc. Self-consistently unpacks archives. Flexible six-level infiltration and activity logging. Uses both the on-demand and on-access scanning techniques to secure and protect the entire file system and running processes. Provide file access control over Samba, Nettalk and NFS.

System architecture

NOD32 for LFS consists of on-demand and on-access scanning modules. The on-demand scanner performs scanning of the selected file system upon user request via command line. Using standard Linux operating system schedulers, various periodic scanning tasks can be pre-defined. The on-access scanner daemon provides real-time monitoring of the entire file system. File scanning is triggered by user or system events that result in file access calls by the Linux kernel. The file infomation is passed on to the NOD32 scanning engine. Depending on the scanning results a predefined action on the file is triggered. File access can be allowed or denied and the appropriate log output is created.
