rust-clamav-client's Introduction

Rust ClamAV Client

A simple ClamAV client to stream files or in-memory data to clamd for antivirus scanning.

Please note: The functions ping_socket, scan_file_socket, and scan_buffer_socket are only available on Unix platforms.

Installation

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
clamav-client = "0.3.1"

To use the async functions in clamav_client::tokio, add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
clamav-client = { version = "0.3.1", features = ["tokio"] }

Usage

let clamd_host_address = "localhost:3310";

// Ping clamd to make sure the server is available and accepting TCP connections
let clamd_available = match clamav_client::ping_tcp(clamd_host_address) {
    Ok(ping_response) => ping_response == b"PONG\0",
    Err(_) => false,
};

if !clamd_available {
    println!("Cannot ping clamd at {}", clamd_host_address);
    return;
}

// Scan file for viruses
let file_path = "tests/eicar.txt";
let scan_file_response = clamav_client::scan_file_tcp(file_path, clamd_host_address, None).unwrap();
let file_clean = clamav_client::clean(&scan_file_response).unwrap();
if file_clean {
    println!("No virus found in {}", file_path);
} else {
    println!("The file {} is infected!", file_path);
}

// Scan in-memory data for viruses
let buffer = br#"X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*"#;
let scan_buffer_response = clamav_client::scan_buffer_tcp(buffer, clamd_host_address, None).unwrap();
let data_clean = clamav_client::clean(&scan_buffer_response).unwrap();
if data_clean {
    println!("No virus found");
} else {
    println!("The data is infected!");
}
