Show HN: ViruSaas – Virus Checks as a Service
2 by ManuelKiessling | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi all, here is a side project I've just launched which might come in handy for certain situations. It's a very simple and free "do one thing and do it well" online service with exactly one feature: you upload a file, and it tells you — based on a ClamAV check — if that file contains a virus or not. I'm not having any ambitious plans with this project, but thanks to very low operational costs, I thought I can as well put it out there and keep it alive — maybe it's even useful for some people every now and then (just today, one of my coworkers forwarded me a fishy-looking email with an attachment, and using virusaas.com turned out to be the least painful way to do this kind of one-off check for a virus). I've also released the source code of the web app under GPLv3 at https://ift.tt/TBKpozh , although it's not as polished as it could be (no tests, for example — but see above, no ambitious plans). The main reason to do the project was to follow through with my own tutorial at https://ift.tt/nLgsRBm... , which worked out quite nicely.
