Windows Server 2008 R2: installare e configurare ClamD come servizio

Scenario

Macchina Windows Server 2008 R2 adibito a server di posta (inbound/outbound) mediante hMailServer. Su quest’ultimo si vuole utilizzare ClamD (eseguibile appartenente alla suite ClamAV) per la scansione degli allegati (poichè più stabile e performante di ClamWin).

clamavIn questo post vedremo come installare il suddetto applicativo sottoforma di servizio. Inoltre, tramite il task scheduler di Windows, utilizzeremo uno scrip custom (da me creato) per il download e l’installazione degli aggiornamenti.

Download e configurazione di ClamAV

E’ possibile scaricare il software il questione da qui (è gratis). La versione da me utilizzata è la Win64 (poichè il SO è a 64 bit).

Una volta completato il download, estraiamo il contenuto del file *.zip (ho scelto questa tipologia di file anzichè il *.msi per avere un maggiore controllo durante la fase di installazione e configurazione) e rinominiamo la dir in ClamAV. Infine, copiamola all’interno di C:\Program Files\.

Posizioniamoci dunque all’interno della directory C:\Program Files\ClamAV e creiamo la cartella database (in cui verranno salvate le firme aggiornate) ed i file clamd.conf:

# This option allows you to disable the caching feature of the engine. By
# default, the engine will store an MD5 in a cache of any files that are
# not flagged as virus or that hit limits checks. Disabling the cache will
# have a negative performance impact on large scans.
# Default: no
#DisableCache yes

##
## Executable files
##

# PE stands for Portable Executable - it's an executable file format used
# in all 32 and 64-bit versions of Windows operating systems. This option allows
# ClamAV to perform a deeper analysis of executable files and it's also
# required for decompression of popular executable packers such as UPX, FSG,
# and Petite. If you turn off this option, the original files will still be
# scanned, but without additional processing.
# Default: yes
#ScanPE yes

# Certain PE files contain an authenticode signature. By default, we check
# the signature chain in the PE file against a database of trusted and
# revoked certificates if the file being scanned is marked as a virus.
# If any certificate in the chain validates against any trusted root, but
# does not match any revoked certificate, the file is marked as whitelisted.
# If the file does match a revoked certificate, the file is marked as virus.
# The following setting completely turns off authenticode verification.
# Default: no
#DisableCertCheck yes

# Executable and Linking Format is a standard format for UN*X executables.
# This option allows you to control the scanning of ELF files.
# If you turn off this option, the original files will still be scanned, but
# without additional processing.

#ScanELF yes

# With this option clamav will try to detect broken executables (both PE and
# ELF) and mark them as Broken.Executable.
# Default: no
#DetectBrokenExecutables yes

##
## Documents
##

# This option enables scanning of OLE2 files, such as Microsoft Office
# documents and .msi files.
# If you turn off this option, the original files will still be scanned, but
# without additional processing.
# Default: yes
#ScanOLE2 yes

# With this option enabled OLE2 files with VBA macros, which were not
# detected by signatures will be marked as "Heuristics.OLE2.ContainsMacros".
# Default: no
#OLE2BlockMacros no

# This option enables scanning within PDF files.
# If you turn off this option, the original files will still be scanned, but
# without decoding and additional processing.
# Default: yes
#ScanPDF yes

# This option enables scanning within SWF files.
# If you turn off this option, the original files will still be scanned, but
# without decoding and additional processing.

#ScanPartialMessages yes

# With this option enabled ClamAV will try to detect phishing attempts by using
# signatures.
# Default: yes
#PhishingSignatures yes

# Scan URLs found in mails for phishing attempts using heuristics.

#
# Default: no
#PhishingAlwaysBlockSSLMismatch no

# Always block cloaked URLs, even if URL isn't in database.
# This can lead to false positives.
#
# Default: no
#PhishingAlwaysBlockCloak no

# Detect partition intersections in raw disk images using heuristics.
# Default: no
#PartitionIntersection no

# Allow heuristic match to take precedence.
# When enabled, if a heuristic scan (such as phishingScan) detects
# a possible virus/phish it will stop scan immediately. Recommended, saves CPU
# scan-time.
# When disabled, virus/phish detected by heuristic scans will be reported only at
# the end of a scan. If an archive contains both a heuristically detected
# virus/phish, and a real malware, the real malware will be reported
#
# Keep this disabled if you intend to handle "*.Heuristics.*" viruses 
# differently from "real" malware.
# If a non-heuristically-detected virus (signature-based) is found first, 
# the scan is interrupted immediately, regardless of this config option.
#
# Default: no
#HeuristicScanPrecedence yes

# This option enables support for our "Personal Statistics" service. 
# When this option is enabled, the information on malware detected by
# your clamd installation is made available to you through our website.
# To get your HostID, log on http://www.stats.clamav.net and add a new
# host to your host list. Once you have the HostID, uncomment this option
# and paste the HostID here. As soon as your freshclam starts submitting
# information to our stats collecting service, you will be able to view
# the statistics of this clamd installation by logging into
# http://www.stats.clamav.net with the same credentials you used to
# generate the HostID. For more information refer to:
# http://www.clamav.net/documentation.html#cctts 
# This feature requires SubmitDetectionStats to be enabled.
# Default: disabled
#DetectionStatsHostID unique-id

# This option enables support for Google Safe Browsing. When activated for
# the first time, freshclam will download a new database file (safebrowsing.cvd)
# which will be automatically loaded by clamd and clamscan during the next
# reload, provided that the heuristic phishing detection is turned on. This
# database includes information about websites that may be phishing sites or
# possible sources of malware. When using this option, it's mandatory to run
# freshclam at least every 30 minutes.
# Freshclam uses the ClamAV's mirror infrastructure to distribute the
# database and its updates but all the contents are provided under Google's
# terms of use. See http://www.google.com/transparencyreport/safebrowsing
# and http://www.clamav.net/documentation.html#safebrowsing 
# for more information.
# Default: disabled
#SafeBrowsing yes

# This option enables downloading of bytecode.cvd, which includes additional
# detection mechanisms and improvements to the ClamAV engine.
# Default: enabled
#Bytecode yes

# Download an additional 3rd party signature database distributed through
# the ClamAV mirrors. 
# This option can be used multiple times.

Entrambi i suddetti file sono abbastanza basilari, potete dunque modificarli in base alle vostre esigenze.

Per verificare che tutto è stato configurato correttamente, lanciamo un prompt dei comandi (con privilegi di amministratore) ed eseguiamo clamd.exe:

C:\Program Files\ClamAV\clamd.exe

Se non vegnono riportati errori di sorta possiamo procedere con il download delle firme aggiornate e con l’installazione del suddetto applicativo sottoforma di servizio.

Per scaricare le firme è sufficiente lanciare il comando:

C:\Program Files\ClamAV\freshclam.exe

Installazione di ClamD come servizio

Per effettuare tale operazione si possono seguire 2 strade: la prima consiste nell’utilizzare il tool nativo di Windows sc; la seconda, che preferisco, prevede l’uso del tool nssm (che potete scaricare da qui).

Procediamo dunque con l’installazione del servizio lanciando il seguente comando (dopo aver estratto l’archivio contenente la versione a 64 bit dell’applicativo appena scaricato):

nssm install ClamD  "C:\Program Files\ClamAV\clamd.exe"

Se l’installazione è andata a buon fine possiamo procedere con l’avvio del servizio utilizzando il comando:

net start ClamD

oppure avvalendoci di services.msc.

Infine, per fare in modo che gli aggiornamenti dell’antivirus vengano scaricati automaticamente ogni notte, è sufficiente utilizzare il seguente scrip *.bat:

@echo off

echo %DATE% %TIME% : Starting ClamD signature update

"C:\Program Files\ClamAV\freshclam.exe"

net stop ClamD

net start ClamD

echo %DATE% %TIME% : ClamD signature update completed

echo ------------------------------------------------------------------

e creare un apposito task mediante il task scheduler di Windows (con l’opzione >> “C:\Program Files\ClamAv\clamd_update.log”, in modo da tenere traccia dello status relativo agli aggiornamenti automatici).

Adesso il nostro server di posta è più sicuro.

Alla prossima.
