Antispyd is a proxy server that filters HTTP/HTTPS threats, providing protection against spyware and suspicious activity.
Antispyd is POSIX compliant and has been developed under Gentoo/Linux. It has a modular software architecture with independent web filters that can be used and configured to meet specific needs. These include URL filtering, mime-type filtering, web-identity masking, shellcode and zero-day threat filtering, cookie removal, simple signature-based filtering, inappropriate content blocking, and pop-up deleting.
Antispyd is ideal for companies seeking to establish web usage policies, control instant messaging, filter peer-to-peer activities, and protect against malware.
In terms of functionality, the latest release provides a major improvement of the signature-based filtering engine (the BLOCK_SIGN filter). It features signatures that are now stored in a 3-Tree, enhancing the matching of each HTTP message. Filtering can be performed on each HTTP message's content, and a signature can use the hexadecimal array of a byte to specify field value. With these updates, Antispyd continues to be a valuable software solution for companies seeking secure, efficient, and customizable web filter options.
