Description
ASL has a kernel space anti-virus/anti-malware module. This module is not activated by default. The basic behaviour when activated is to prevent the malware from being read, executed or written to the hard disk, and to send an alert via logs, email and the ASL gui.
Installation
Step 1) ASL kernel 2.6.29 and above required
Step 2) Install kernel modules
yum install kmod-dazuko
Step 3) if your kernel is locked (this is the default), you will need to reboot your system.
Configuration
Step 1) Enable the appropriate settings in the ASL GUI for your needs. Each of the options below are documented in the ASL GUI, please see the GUI for details on what these do.
These are the recommended settings:
CLAMAV_ENABLED="yes" CLAMAV_ENABLE_DAZUKO="yes" CLAMAV_TCPADDRESS="127.0.0.1" CLAMAV_SCANONACCESS="yes" CLAMAV_SCANONOPEN="yes" CLAMAV_SCANONCLOSE="yes" CLAMAV_SCANONEXEC="yes" CLAMAV_CLAMUKO_MAXFILESIZE="10m"
Step 2) Set directories to monitor in /etc/asl/dazuko-include. (Note this file may not exist, this is normal). One line per entry
/path/to/directory /path/to/directory2
We do not recommend you set your entire filesystem to be monitored. This is not necessary on most Linux systems, will waste CPU resources, and in general is pointless for a privileged user like root. We recommend that you configure the system to scan directories that non-privileged users can write, upload and modify code in. For example, these directories are a good starting point for most systems:
/var/www/ /home /var/tmp /tmp
DO NOT INCLUDE SIGNATURE DIRECTORIES such as:
/var/clamav /var/lib/clamav /etc/httpd/modsecurity.d/
Your should also not include system directories, such as /proc, /sys and /dev.
Step 3) Set directories to exclude in /etc/asl/dazuko-exclude. (Note this file may not exist, this is normal). One line per entry
/path/to/directory/exclude1 /path/to/directory/exclude2
If you are running a control panel, such as Plesk, that puts apache configuration files in /var/www and if you have included /var/www in dazukos include paths (a good idea for web servers), and those configuration files and directories can only be modified by root (which is the case with Plesk), then you should exclude those directories. They contains dozens of files each, and a failure to exclude them will cause long startup times for Apache as the antimalware system will be forced to scan every configuration file (which is not necessary). This is unnecessary and will take several minutes to complete. The directories you should exclude, at minimum, are:
/var/www/vhosts/www.example.com/statistics/ /var/www/vhosts/www.example.com/conf/ /var/www/vhosts/www.example.com/pd/
Replace www.example.com with your domain names. You can not use wildcards. If you are using a system that puts your virtual hosts in /var/www/vhosts you can use this command to get a list of directories to ignore:
find /var/www/vhosts/ -type d | egrep "/(statistics|conf|pd)$"
A future version of ASL will configure this automatically.
Step 4) Update the security policy with:
asl -s -f
Step 5) Reboot
reboot
