Post your traur scan output and discuss here

It installs a pacman hook, so it hooks itself into the pre-install part of the process.

Do you need an electron-based (basically an embedded web-browser) gui for clamav?

The cli tool is in the repos.

Electron 17 is ancient. It went out of support in 2022.

There is no way I would install that.

installed clamav from /extra and after install I typed clamav into terminal. Nothing. I typed clam and it wasn’t even in menu. I thought “do I really have to reboot for clam? I don’t have time for this” so I uninstalled it…

I was going to say RTFM! Ooops, I just did, sorry :sweat_smile:

Traur also considers the Maldet tool as “Sketchy.”

After the recent AUR Troubles my current paranoia level is Moderate so I’m just trying to get a scan done but I’m beating my head against wall instead… :roll_eyes:

edit: did install /extra clamtk but I scanned /home and it was over in like 1/10th of a second and I thought “you go to be kidding this is a joke.” 1/10th? Really?

The command should be clamscan -r <path> right?
And I think for the first time, need to update database using sudo freshclam command.

eureka! it’s going to town now.

these things were not apparent when I did a clamav --help so next time I must rtfm :slight_smile:

thanks @dirn !

You’re welcome :slight_smile:

Did you do a sudo freshclam first to update the creepware definitions before unleashing it on the town?

I couldn’t help it so here it is, the Fine manual:

also @dirn

followup:

took about an hour. this app has changed since I last used it.

Some piece of mind.

[MODS: Off-topic, sorry]

Was previously running maldet but traur seems more apropos to the current situation and a “nice to have” going forward, thanks. Did find one concerning hit in my traur scan as well…

Going back to the source on this one shows the original author sunsetted this package (https://invent.kde.org/sysadmin/repo-metadata/-/work_items/23#note_1129452). It’s no longer needed. Fortunately, my version of the package hasn’t updated since December. The “-git” version, however, did update last April. While my package does not appear compromised, it looks like a good candidate to compromise.

Not seeing anything in the PKGBUILD that looks out of sorts (https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=xwaylandvideobridge). Even so, uninstalled from my machine so, good pickup from traur.

Here’s mine:

Guess I’ll post mine. I suppose I could just create a webapp for Spotify but I think it’s safe.

Sudo -S clamtk . . . .

Clamtk works if it has any value. . .

Rich :wink:

I did try this and its GUI. When it scanned all of /home in 1/10th of a second I know something was wrong (me or them). It should have took 1-2 hours. So I uninstalled it and moved on. It has value. thank you. I was too stupid to operate it at the moment.

How come everyone else’s Ventoy is “sketchy” and yours is “Top Shelf”? :slight_smile:

Not sure. I installed “ventoy-bin”. There is a “ventoy” on the AUR that’s a slightly later release but the PKGBUILD looks “complex” and even the author calls it a “Packaging nightmare”.
