[clamav-users] Submission Status

Sat Feb 20 12:00:24 UTC 2016

Hi Al,

It's a php script. Do you have automatic php script evaluation and
execution built into your current shell? If so, you shouldn't be involved
in anything to do with security and or computers in general. "Not sure who
the intended audience is" well, neither was I because the website provides
simple links for very broad groups regarding a/v and such. I came in to
check on a submission I had made, because I found a pretty serious web
based exploit that clamAV was failing to detect. However, over the past few
days I've been decoding other exploits that clam AV fails to detect.
Apparently I just need to base64 encode anything and clam AV just has no
clue what it is. AAA awesome.

Lastly: "but perhaps the team can fill us in on that." - Oh, so you're not
part of the team. So, you're nobody, and you're jumping into this
conversation asserting that receiving PHP code over a plain TCP connection
and (optionally opening it in notepad) is sufficient enough to cause a full
blow PHP interpreter with elevated permissions to magically manifest in
your PC and execute some malware, and tell me that it's up to me to clean
up an infection after the entire point of my email that you're responding
to is my declaration of having successfully cleaned up the infection, and
my desire to share the definitions that worked. You failed entirely at
life, I'll forget you in 5 minutes, and will recover just fine the barrage
of stupidity that you've brought to my inbox this morning.

Regards,

Somebody who didn't hear "Computer Viruses" on CSI miami and join a virus
mailing list to appear cool.
