Mailing List Archive: Safebrowsing and web

Quote from http://www.clamav.net/support/faq-safebrowsing:

"It is mainly targeted at people who are using ClamAV to filter web traffic."

Seems unlikely as only mbox files are currently phishingChecked.

Would it be possible to:

- Enable phishingChecks (atlast Safe Browsing) for HTML data?

- Have an API to check URL from Safe Browsing database directly? Would be
useful for http scanners like HAVP to check the actual URL. Of course one
could/should implement SB API directly, but it would be handy..

Do ClamAV mirrors update safebrowsing.cvd on the recommended 30 minute
interval?

Cheers,
Henrik

Hi,

I've opened a bugreport about this here:

I don't think this is possible according to the TOS, but I am not a
lawyer: http://code.google.com/apis/safebrowsing/terms.html

Yes, we have published 506 safebrowsing.cvd versions so far, that is an
average of 1 cvd every 28m.
