Sophie 1.15 by Vanja Hrustic (http://freshmeat.net/users/vanja/) Saturday, August 11th 2001 23:10 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: This release can now scan directories recursively, the socket pathname is printed when the "-v" option is used, and Sophie is now in feature-freeze.
