What antivirus do you use in your linux..

Use clamav :D

@daarkfall Yup I use ClamAV! Linux is notcompletely virus free so better safe than sorry!

You are aware there are linux viruses right?

@RazorSh4rk Thank you!

@linuxxx if i made a virus id probably target linux first tbh

Bitdefender has cool Linux product too.

I don't even use one on Windows.

Not really AV, but OSSEC is on my boxes.

@RazorSh4rk stop this urban legend that linux (and osx/mac os) has no virus... btw I use no one on Windows, if you're not so dumb to click on any banner/file you're safe

@dontbeevil i have a buncha viruses on my laptop because i need them for analysis :D

Best antivirus is common sense... But that is not so common nowadays.

@RazorSh4rk for linux, for windows or for humans? :)

@dontbeevil windows

@RazorSh4rk so of course they don't run on linux :D

yeah they exists but they don't spread for different reasons:
- they don't care to target an OS with 2% of market share
- the users that use linux are on average more smart than the average of other OS users
- this and that makes more harder to spread

@dontbeevil would take about half an hour to port all of them

@runfrodorun Got any resources for best practices for Linux permissions configuration and the like? Just sounds like you may. You can just ignore it if it's a hassle.

@runfrodorun Wow! Thanks for that. I'm going to look at that very carefully. Much appreciated, seriously. Thanks. 👍

That's a prime example of why devrant is an awesome community made up of excellent people. Thank you for all that, I'll definitely put it into practice.

@RazorSh4rk Nahh I'd target windows or macOS. Bigger user base so likely more infections

@runfrodorun True true

I've used rkhunter to watch for changes on the system, but not had to deal with any malware on Linux yet (knock on wood)

Hey. Quite interesting. I read several articles about that it is necessary to have antivirus on almost any OS. Additional protection will never be superfluous! Personally I use Windows and antivirus is a must. I recommend to read how good is McAfee on https://antivirus-review.com/mcafee... and choose this application.

Right. The most used OS for webservers will never be targeted because "it's not popular enough". Here's an article https://linuxsecurity.com/features/... .
