Hey all, I just wanted to ask how to get access to the source code for ClamWin, since the links to the sourceforge don't work. I'm trying to get a hold of it to use for my masters dissertation, by attaching a machine learning detection engine onto it, (and hopefully increasing detection rate for new malware). If anyone could help me out, it would be much appreciated.

The FAQ on ClamWin sourcecode is at https://www.clamwin.com/content/view/178/27/ on the ClamWin web page.

Here is a link to versions of ClamWin. Look at the Code menu item--it may help. See
https://sourceforge.net/projects/clamwin/files/clamwin/ on the web.

Let me know if you can't get anything. There is very little development of ClamWin nowadays, and new development is sorely needed. Anything you can cone up with, please let us know so we can run it by the developers. There are a couple of guys who might help with testing if you need it.

Good luck!

ClamWin port: https://github.com/clamwin/clamav-win32

ClamWin outlook extension: https://github.com/clamwin/pyc

ClamWin QRecover: https://github.com/clamwin/QRecover

ClamWin updater: https://github.com/clamwin/cwupdater

Everything else: https://sourceforge.net/p/clamwin/code/ci/master/tree/

Sorry for the really late reply, but I just recently got to work on the code, as I just finished my exams. I just have a few questions regarding compiling the code, in particular, the ClamWin port. Which version of Visual Studio, (or what IDE rather), should I be using to compile? Are there any specific distributables that are required?

To further clarify on what I'm doing - I need to find the function that calls the antivirus engine, then based on that, make a new engine using a machine-learning model, and add it to ClamWin.

I have informed the ClamWin developers about this. You should get an answer soon.

Thanks for your efforts!

I really appreciate it, thanks!

You need to use VS2013, as that is what the sourcecode of ClamWin is on. Recently, ClamAV made the switch to VS2015, but has not been merged with ClamWin yet, so eventually you will nee to use VS2015.

You will also need OpenSSL 1.02K, too. Eventually you will need 1.1.0c, as that is what ClamAV is on.

Honestly, if you want my opinion, you are probably better off compiling the ClamAV source code for Windows. More work is being done to that then ClamWin. The ClamAV Windows builds do not have any GUIs, but it shouldn't be too difficult to make a simple GUI for ClamAV.

I set up VS2013, and this might sound like a really dumb question, but is there OpenSSL 1.0.2K for Windows? Last I checked GNUWin32 was updated 9 years ago, and uses version 0.9.8h. Should I swap to Ubuntu to save myself the headache?

A search for that SSL topic turned up this: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/11021 on the web. Hope it helps!

install activestate perl and use visualstudio command prompt

Please let us know if there's anything we can do to help (testing, etc.) and keep us informed as to your progress. I see lots of AVs are now developing a machine learning module.

Regards,

Has there been any progress on your project?

This is progress check number 2. Any results? Keep us informed!

I do not expect anything else along this line. There have been several attempts to do some additional improvements to the ClamWin Windows code, but nothing has ever come of it. It involves too much work for no pay, and most talented professinal programmers do not want to do it. I am available for testing and heuristics, but I do not expect to see anything.
