ophie 1.13 by Vanja Hrustic (http://freshmeat.net/users/vanja/) Wednesday, August 8th 2001 15:29 Categories: Security, System About: Sophie is a daemon which uses 'libsavi' library from Sophos anti virus vendor ( http://www.sophos.com ). On startup, Sophie initializes SAPI (Sophos Anti-Virus Interface), loads virus patterns into memory, opens local UNIX domain socket, and waits for someone to connect and instructs it which path to scan. Since the database is loaded in RAM, scanning is very fast. (Note: speed of scanning also depends on SAVI settings and size of the file.) It works on Linux, Solaris (Sparc/x86), HP-UX, and FreeBSD. It was made as a part of 'Virge' project, which is a mail/attachment/virus scanning tool, written in C. Changes: Sophie can now process more than one request/file per connection. A version string/number was added to the sophie binary (visible with the "-h" switch).
