Dazuko: an open solution to facilitate 'on-access' scanning
One of the most fundamental forms of virus protection is at the file access
level. By scanning files as they are opened or executed, malicious code can be blocked
before having an opportunity to cause damage. However, with the constant evolution and
availability of various operating systems, there is a continual redundant effort by
anti-virus organizations to implement file access monitoring. This results in variable
performance and a lack of support for certain platforms. This paper presents an open
source project, Dazuko, which provides a standard interface for handling file access
control. The project aims at developing the Dazuko module to work with many different
operating systems while maintaining a common interface. By providing the anti-virus
community with an open file access control standard, a broad range of supported systems
with reliable performance can be established.
