The Sophos Linux/RST-B detection tool is a basic software for detecting viruses. It is easy to use and specifically developed for Linux systems.
The Sophos Linux/RST-B detection tool is a software designed to detect infected ELF binaries and the EICAR test virus. It is a simple tool that is very easy to use. For more information on the Linux/Rst-B virus, users can visit www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/linuxrstb.html. On the other hand, for more information about the EICAR test virus, users can go to www.eicar.org/anti_virus_test_file.htm.
It is important to note that EICAR detection is disabled by default, but users can enable it by compiling the source with DETECT_EICAR defined. The comment in detection_tool.c provides more information on this. To use this tool, users need to have GNU libc, C compiler, C99 standard header files and Make.
To install this software on a computer with no unusual configuration, users need to simply type 'make'. However, if their C compiler is named differently or not in their $PATH, they can type CC=/path/to/cc make instead.
To use the tool, users just need to type './detection_tool [-v] < path > [...]' where < path > is the path to be scanned. The '-v' option enables verbose reporting, which means that the tool lists all scanned files and any errors found when opening them.
Overall, the Sophos Linux/RST-B detection tool is a great software for those who need a simple yet effective way to detect viruses. Its ease of use and availability make it a great tool for both novice and experienced users alike.
