have django virus defender?
For example, when users upload a file to a website, how can they know if it has a virus or a security vulnerability? Do you have any advice on this?
In my project, users need to upload a zip file and the server needs to do something about this file. Does Django have such a precaution or is there another method you can suggest? (for example, sending the files to another server and doing the processing there, etc.)
This is something you would need to handle. Django doesn’t provide any intrinsic file scanning.
You could integrate something like clamav in your view that handles the upload to have it scan that file immediately.
Or you could configure clamav for on-access scanning of your media directory.
Or you could schedule clamav to scan all files in the upload directory on a periodic basis.
Or, you could set it up for “all of the above”.
(And, of course, there’s no requirement that you use clamav - I’m just using it as an example. These ideas should be just as valid with whatever malware detection process you wish to use.)
Thanks, I’ll check it out.
