     @sysrq This is only a temporary measure until everyone forgets what it was like before and becomes completely dependent on FSE's security apparatus, at which point I will pretend that it was not a temporary measure.

     @oxblood @p i was never able to use it because it will hard-lock the entire OS if you have another service that uses a particular (fairly cmmon) kernel feature.

     @coolboymew @oxblood @p it almost completely only detects windows viruses lol. you might want an antivirus on a linux server to scan your product's users' uploads or something. before i stopped sysadminning theough we were being harassed that every linux box had to have antivirus even if it did nothing

     @coolboymew @oxblood @p it works close to the same as windows antivirus, it hooks into the kernel and detects when an executable is launched and first checks a hash of the executable file against a list of known bad hashes

     @Moon @oxblood @p @coolboymew Yeah, pretty much the only reason people use Anti-Viruses on linux is to avoid spreading them out to Windows machines (and I guess Androids now?).

     I guess something like snort/fail2ban and hardening your system (ie. noexec on most mountpoints and /home + /srv) would make more sense on Unix machines.

     @lanodan @oxblood @p @coolboymew i already forgot all the standards i had to comply with but yes literally all the stuff you would expect like you mentioned is in a couple of those standards and you have to do them firrst. however a couple of them also say "every" system has to run antivirus so you're stuck trying to find antivirus for linux. had to get rid of clamav because it would use up all memory and then oomkiller would kill our application

     @p @oxblood @lanodan @Moon @coolboymew anti virus is just another name for trying to protect the user from themselves. Education is the cure, AV just masks the symptoms.

     Terrible corporate policy sounds like the only reason to ever install such a thing. It seems like that would have been a great time to become a small-time antivirus vendor. "Yeah, these guys don't bog down the systems and they cost half as much!"

     @dynamin @oxblood @p @Moon @coolboymew Pretty much but it's also very much a windows being a litteral minefield to try to operate securely, like not showing file extensions and encouraging double clicks, permitting execution from any filesystem, …
     
     Like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ILOVEYOU kind of stuff probably still exists today.
     And consider that DOS executables can be just plain text. http://tom7.org/abc/
