\section{Introduction}
CVD (ClamAV Virus Database) is a digitally signed container that
includes signature databases in various text formats. The header
of the container is a 512 bytes long string with colon separated fields:
\begin{verbatim}
ClamAV-VDB:build time:version:number of signatures:functionality
level required:MD5 checksum:digital signature:builder name:build
time (sec)
\end{verbatim}
\verb+sigtool --info+ displays detailed information about a given CVD file:
\begin{verbatim}
zolw@localhost:/usr/local/share/clamav$ sigtool -i main.cvd
File: main.cvd
Build time: 09 Dec 2007 15:50 +0000
Version: 45
Signatures: 169676
Functionality level: 21
Builder: sven
MD5: b35429d8d5d60368eea9630062f7c75a
Digital signature: dxsusO/HWP3/GAA7VuZpxYwVsE9b+tCk+tPN6OyjVF/U8

Verification OK.
\end{verbatim}
The ClamAV project distributes a number of CVD files, including
\emph{main.cvd} and \emph{daily.cvd}.
\section{Debug information from libclamav}
In order to create efficient signatures for ClamAV it's important
to understand how the engine handles input files. The best way
to see how it works is having a look at the debug information from
libclamav. You can do it by calling \verb+clamscan+ with the
\verb+--debug+ and \verb+--leave-temps+ flags. The first switch
makes clamscan display all the interesting information from
libclamav and the second one avoids deleting temporary files so
they can be analyzed further. The now important part of the info
is:
\begin{verbatim}
$ clamscan --debug attachment.exe
[...]
LibClamAV debug: Recognized MS-EXE/DLL file
LibClamAV debug: Matched signature for file type PE
LibClamAV debug: File type: Executable
\end{verbatim}
The engine recognized a windows executable.

Indeed, libclamav recognizes the UPX data and saves the decompressed
(and rebuilt) executable into \verb+/tmp/clamav-90d2d25c9dca42bae6fa9a764a4bcede+.
Then it continues by scanning this new file:

\end{verbatim}
No additional files get created by libclamav. By writing
a signature for the decompressed file you have more chances
that the engine will detect the target data when it gets
compressed with another packer.
This method should be applied to all files for which you want
to create signatures. By analyzing the debug information you
can quickly see how the engine recognizes and preprocesses
the data and what additional files get created. Signatures
created for bottom-level temporary files are usually more
generic and should help detecting the same malware in
different forms.
\section{Signature formats}
\subsection{Hash-based signatures}
The easiest way to create signatures for ClamAV is to use filehash checksums,
however this method can be only used against static malware.
\subsubsection{MD5 hash-based signatures}
To create a
MD5 signature for \verb+test.exe+ use the \verb+--md5+ option of sigtool:
\begin{verbatim}
zolw@localhost:/tmp/test$ sigtool --md5 test.exe > test.hdb
zolw@localhost:/tmp/test$ cat test.hdb
48c4533230e1ae1c118c741c0db19dfb:17387:test.exe
\end{verbatim}
That's it! The signature is ready for use:
\begin{verbatim}
zolw@localhost:/tmp/test$ clamscan -d test.hdb test.exe
test.exe: test.exe FOUND
----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------
Known viruses: 1
Scanned directories: 0
Engine version: 0.92.1
Scanned files: 1
Infected files: 1
Data scanned: 0.02 MB
Time: 0.024 sec (0 m 0 s)
\end{verbatim}
You can change the name (by default sigtool uses the name of the file)
and place it inside a \verb+*.hdb+ file. A single database file can
include any number of signatures. To get them automatically loaded
each time clamscan/clamd starts just copy the database file(s) into
the local virus database directory (eg. /usr/local/share/clamav).
\emph{The hash-based signatures shall not be used for text files,
HTML and any other data that gets internally preprocessed before
pattern matching. If you really want to use a hash signature in
such a case, run clamscan with --debug and --leave-temps flags
as described above and create a signature for a preprocessed file
left in /tmp. Please keep in mind that a hash signature will stop
matching as soon as a single byte changes in the target file.}
\subsubsection{SHA1 and SHA256 hash-based signatures}
ClamAV 0.98 has also added support for SHA1 and SHA256 file checksums.
The format is the same as for MD5 file checksum.
It can differentiate between them based on the length of the hash string
in the signature. For best backwards compatibility, these should be
placed inside a \verb+*.hsb+ file. The format is:
\begin{verbatim}
HashString:FileSize:MalwareName
\end{verbatim}
\subsubsection{PE section based hash signatures}
You can create a hash signature for a specific section in a PE file.
Such signatures shall be stored inside \verb+.mdb+ files in the
following format:
\begin{verbatim}
PESectionSize:PESectionHash:MalwareName
\end{verbatim}
The easiest way to generate MD5 based section signatures is to extract
target PE sections into separate files and then run sigtool with the
option \verb+--mdb+
ClamAV 0.98 has also added support for SHA1 and SHA256 section based
signatures. The format is the same as for MD5 PE section based signatures.
It can differentiate between them based on the length of the hash string
in the signature. For best backwards compatibility, these should be
placed inside a \verb+*.msb+ file.
\subsubsection{Hash signatures with unknown size}
ClamAV 0.98 has also added support for hash signatures where the size
is not known but the hash is. It is much more performance-efficient to
use signatures with specific sizes, so be cautious when using this
feature. For these cases, the '*' character can be used in the size
field. To ensure proper backwards compatibility with older versions of
ClamAV, these signatures must have a minimum functional level of 73 or
higher. Signatures that use the wildcard size without this level set
will be rejected as malformed.
\begin{verbatim}
Sample .hsb signature matching any size
HashString:*:MalwareName:73
Sample .msb signature matching any size
*:PESectionHash:MalwareName:73
\end{verbatim}
\subsection{Body-based signatures}
ClamAV stores all body-based signatures in a hexadecimal format. In this
section by a hex-signature we mean a fragment of malware's body converted
into a hexadecimal string which can be additionally extended using various
wildcards.
\subsubsection{Hexadecimal format}
You can use \verb+sigtool --hex-dump+ to convert any data into a hex-string:
\begin{verbatim}
zolw@localhost:/tmp/test$ sigtool --hex-dump
How do I look in hex?
486f7720646f2049206c6f6f6b20696e206865783f0a
\end{verbatim}
\subsubsection{Wildcards}
ClamAV supports the following wildcards for hex-signatures:
\begin{itemize}
\item \verb+??+\\
Match any byte.
\item \verb+a?+\\
Match a high nibble (the four high bits).\\ \textbf{IMPORTANT NOTE:}
The nibble matching is only available in libclamav with the
functionality level 17 and higher therefore please only use it with
.ndb signatures followed by ":17" (MinEngineFunctionalityLevel,
see \ref{ndb}).
\item \verb+?a+\\
Match a low nibble (the four low bits).
\item \verb+*+\\
Match any number of bytes.
\item \verb+{n}+\\
Match $n$ bytes.
\item \verb+{-n}+\\
Match $n$ or less bytes.
\item \verb+{n-}+\\
Match $n$ or more bytes.
\item \verb+{n-m}+\\
Match between $n$ and $m$ bytes ($m > n$).
\item \verb+HEXSIG[x-y]aa+ or \verb+aa[x-y]HEXSIG+\\
Match aa anchored to a hex-signature, see
\url{https://bugzilla.clamav.net/show_bug.cgi?id=776} for
discussion and examples.
\end{itemize}
The range signatures \verb+*+ and \verb+{}+ virtually separate
a hex-signature into two parts, eg. \verb+aabbcc*bbaacc+ is treated
as two sub-signatures \verb+aabbcc+ and \verb+bbaacc+ with any number
of bytes between them. It's a requirement that each sub-signature
includes a block of two static characters somewhere in its body.
Note that there is one exception to this restriction; that is when
the range wildcard is of the form \verb+{n}+ with \verb+n<128+. In this
case, ClamAV uses an optimization and translates \verb+{n}+ to the string
consisting of \verb+n ??+ character wildcards. Character wildcards do not
divide hex signatures into two parts and so the two static character
requirement does not apply.
\subsubsection{Character classes}
ClamAV supports the following character classes for hex-signatures:
\begin{itemize}
\item \verb+(B)+\\
Match word boundary (including file boundaries).
\item \verb+(L)+\\
Match CR, CRLF or file boundaries.
\item \verb+(W)+\\
Match a non-alphanumeric character.
\end{itemize}
\subsubsection{Alternate strings}
\begin{itemize}
\item Single-byte alternates (clamav-0.96)\\
\verb+(aa|bb|cc|...)+ or \verb+!(aa|bb|cc|...)+\\
Match a member from a set of bytes [aa, bb, cc, ...].
\begin{itemize}
\item Negation operation can be applied to match any non-member, assumed to be one-byte in length.
\item Signature modifiers and wildcards cannot be applied.
\end{itemize}
\item Multi-byte fixed length alternates\\
\verb+(aaaa|bbbb|cccc|...)+ or \verb+!(aaaa|bbbb|cccc|...)+\\
Match a member from a set of multi-byte alternates [aaaa, bbbb, cccc, ...] of n-length.
\begin{itemize}
\item All set members must be the same length.
\item Negation operation can be applied to match any non-member, assumed to be n-bytes in length (clamav-0.98.2).
\item Signature modifiers and wildcards cannot be applied.
\end{itemize}
\item Generic alternates (clamav-0.99)\\
\verb+(alt1|alt2|alt3|...)+\\
Match a member from a set of alternates [alt1, alt2, alt3, ...] that can be of variable lengths.
\begin{itemize}
\item Negation operation cannot be applied.
\item Signature modifiers and nibble wildcards [\verb+??, a?, ?a+] can be applied.
\item Ranged wildcards [\verb+{n-m}+] are limited to a fixed range of less than 128 bytes [\verb+{1} -> {127}+].
\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
Note that using signature modifiers and wildcards classifies the alternate type to be a generic
alternate. Thus single-byte alternates and multi-byte fixed length alternates can use signature
modifiers and wildcards but will be classified as generic alternate. This means that negation
cannot be applied in this situation and there is a slight performance impact.
\subsubsection{Basic signature format}
The simplest (and now deprecated) signature format is:
\begin{verbatim}
MalwareName=HexSignature
\end{verbatim}
ClamAV will scan the entire file looking for HexSignature. All
signatures of this type must be placed inside \verb+*.db+ files.
\subsubsection{Extended signature format}\label{ndb}
The extended signature format allows for specification of additional
information such as a target file type, virus offset or engine version,
making the detection more reliable. The format is:
\begin{verbatim}
MalwareName:TargetType:Offset:HexSignature[:MinFL:[MaxFL]]
\end{verbatim}
where \verb+TargetType+ is one of the following numbers specifying
the type of the target file:
\begin{itemize}
\item 0 = any file
\item 1 = Portable Executable, both 32- and 64-bit.
\item 2 = OLE2 containers, including their specific macros. The OLE2
format is primarily used by MS Office and MSI installation files.
\item 3 = HTML (normalized: whitespace transformed to spaces, tags/tag
attributes normalized, all lowercase), Javascript is normalized too:
all strings are normalized (hex encoding is decoded), numbers are
parsed and normalized, local variables/function names are normalized
to 'n001' format, argument to eval() is parsed as JS again,
unescape() is handled, some simple JS packers are handled,
output is whitespace normalized.
\item 4 = Mail file
\item 5 = Graphics
\item 6 = ELF
\item 7 = ASCII text file (normalized)
\item 8 = Unused
\item 9 = Mach-O files
\item 10 = PDF files
\item 11 = Flash files
\item 12 = Java class files
\end{itemize}
And \verb+Offset+ is an asterisk or a decimal number \verb+n+ possibly
combined with a special modifier:
\begin{itemize}
\item \verb+*+ = any
\item \verb+n+ = absolute offset
\item \verb+EOF-n+ = end of file minus \verb+n+ bytes
\end{itemize}
Signatures for PE, ELF and Mach-O files additionally support:
\begin{itemize}
\item \verb#EP+n# = entry point plus n bytes (\verb#EP+0# for \verb+EP+)
\item \verb#EP-n# = entry point minus n bytes
\item \verb#Sx+n# = start of section \verb+x+'s (counted from 0)
data plus \verb+n+ bytes
\item \verb#SEx# = entire section \verb+x+ (offset must lie within section
boundaries)
\item \verb#SL+n# = start of last section plus \verb+n+ bytes
\end{itemize}
All the above offsets except \verb+*+ can be turned into
\textbf{floating offsets} and represented as \verb+Offset,MaxShift+ where
\verb+MaxShift+ is an unsigned integer. A floating offset will match every
offset between \verb+Offset+ and \verb#Offset+MaxShift#, eg. \verb+10,5+
will match all offsets from 10 to 15 and \verb#EP+n,y# will match all
offsets from \verb#EP+n# to \verb#EP+n+y#. Versions of ClamAV older than
0.91 will silently ignore the \verb+MaxShift+ extension and only use
\verb+Offset+.\\
\noindent
Optional \verb+MinFL+ and \verb+MaxFL+ parameters can restrict the signature
to specific engine releases. All signatures in the extended format must be
placed inside \verb+*.ndb+ files.
\subsubsection{Logical signatures}\label{ndb}
Logical signatures allow combining of multiple signatures in extended
format using logical operators. They can provide both more detailed and
flexible pattern matching. The logical sigs are stored inside \verb+*.ldb+
files in the following format:
\begin{verbatim}
SignatureName;TargetDescriptionBlock;LogicalExpression;Subsig0;
Subsig1;Subsig2;...
\end{verbatim}
where:
\begin{itemize}
\item \verb+TargetDescriptionBlock+ provides information about the
engine and target file with comma separated \verb+Arg:Val+ pairs.
For args where \verb+Val+ is a range, the minimum and maximum values
should be expressed as \verb+min-max+.
\item \verb+LogicalExpression+ specifies the logical expression
describing the relationship between \verb+Subsig0...SubsigN+.\\
\textbf{Basis clause:} 0,1,...,N decimal indexes are SUB-EXPRESSIONS
representing \verb+Subsig0, Subsig1,...,SubsigN+ respectively.\\
\textbf{Inductive clause:} if \verb+A+ and \verb+B+ are
SUB-EXPRESSIONS and \verb+X, Y+ are decimal numbers then
\verb+(A&B)+, \verb+(A|B)+, \verb+A=X+, \verb+A=X,Y+, \verb+A>X+,
\verb+A>X,Y+, \verb+A<X+ and \verb+A<X,Y+ are SUB-EXPRESSIONS
\item \verb+SubsigN+ is n-th subsignature in extended format possibly
preceded with an offset. There can be specified up to 64 subsigs.
\end{itemize}
Keywords used in \verb+TargetDescriptionBlock+:
\begin{itemize}
\item \verb+Target:X+: Target file type
\item \verb+Engine:X-Y+: Required engine functionality (range; 0.96).
Note that if the \verb+Engine+ keyword is used, it must be the first
one in the \verb+TargetDescriptionBlock+ for backwards compatibility
\item \verb+FileSize:X-Y+: Required file size (range in bytes; 0.96)
\item \verb+EntryPoint+: Entry point offset (range in bytes; 0.96)
\item \verb+NumberOfSections+: Required number of sections in executable (range; 0.96)
\item \verb+Container:CL_TYPE_*+: File type of the container which stores the scanned file.
Specifying \verb+CL_TYPE_ANY+ matches on root objects only.
\item \verb+Intermediates:CL_TYPE_*>CL_TYPE_*+: File types of intermediate containers which stores the scanned file.
Specify 1-16 file types separated by '\verb+>+' in top-down order ('\verb+>+' separator not needed for single file type),
last type should be the immediate container for the malicious content. \verb+CL_TYPE_ANY+ can be used as a wildcard
file type. (expr; 0.100.0)
\item \verb+IconGroup1+: Icon group name 1 from .idb signature Required engine functionality (range; 0.96)
\item \verb+IconGroup2+: Icon group name 2 from .idb signature Required engine functionality (range; 0.96)
\end{itemize}
Modifiers for subexpressions:
\begin{itemize}
\item \verb+A=X+: If the SUB-EXPRESSION A refers to a single signature
then this signature must get matched exactly X times; if it refers to
a (logical) block of signatures then this block must generate exactly
X matches (with any of its sigs).
\item \verb+A=0+ specifies negation (signature or block of signatures
cannot be matched)
\item \verb+A=X,Y+: If the SUB-EXPRESSION A refers to a single signature
then this signature must be matched exactly X times; if it refers to
a (logical) block of signatures then this block must generate X matches
and at least Y different signatures must get matched.
\item \verb+A>X+: If the SUB-EXPRESSION A refers to a single signature
then this signature must get matched more than X times; if it refers to
a (logical) block of signatures then this block must generate more
than X matches (with any of its sigs).
\item \verb+A>X,Y+: If the SUB-EXPRESSION A refers to a single signature
then this signature must get matched more than X times; if it refers to
a (logical) block of signatures then this block must generate more than
X matches and at least Y different signatures must be matched.
\item \verb+A<X+ and \verb+A<X,Y+ as above with the change of "more"
to "less".
\end{itemize}
Examples:
\begin{verbatim}
Sig1;Target:0;(0&1&2&3)&(4|1);6b6f74656b;616c61;7a6f6c77;7374656

\end{verbatim}
\subsubsection{Subsignature Modifiers}
ClamAV (clamav-0.99) supports a number of additional subsignature modifiers
for logical signatures. This is done by specifying '::' followed by a number
of characters representing the desired options. Signatures using subsignature
modifiers require \verb+Engine:81-255+ for backwards-compatibility.
\begin{itemize}
\item Case-Insensitive [\verb+i+]\\
Specifying the \verb+i+ modifier causes ClamAV to match all alphabetic
hex bytes as case-insensitive. All patterns in ClamAV are case-sensitive
by default.
\item Wide [\verb+w+]\\
Specifying the \verb+w+ causes ClamAV to match all hex bytes encoded with
two bytes per character. Note this simply interweaves each character with
NULL characters and does not truly support UTF-16 characters. Wildcards for
'wide' subsignatures are not treated as wide (i.e. there can be an odd number
of intermittent characters). This can be combined with \verb+a+ to search for
patterns in both wide and ascii.
\item Fullword [\verb+f+]\\
Match subsignature as a fullword (delimited by non-alphanumeric characters).
\item Ascii [\verb+a+]\\
Match subsignature as ascii characters. This can be combined with \verb+w+
to search for patterns in both ascii and wide.
\end{itemize}
Examples:
\begin{verbatim}
clamav-nocase-A;Engine:81-255,Target:0;0&1;41414141::i;424242424242::i
-matches 'AAAA'(nocase) and 'BBBBBB'(nocase)
clamav-fullword-A;Engine:81-255,Target:0;0&1;414141;68656c6c6f::f
-matches 'AAA' and 'hello'(fullword)
clamav-fullword-B;Engine:81-255,Target:0;0&1;414141;68656c6c6f::fi
-matches 'AAA' and 'hello'(fullword nocase)
clamav-wide-B2;Engine:81-255,Target:0;0&1;414141;68656c6c6f::wa
-matches 'AAA' and 'hello'(wide ascii)
clamav-wide-C0;Engine:81-255,Target:0;0&1;414141;68656c6c6f::iwfa
-matches 'AAA' and 'hello'(nocase wide fullword ascii)
\end{verbatim}
\subsection{Special Subsignature Types}
\subsubsection{Macro subsignatures (clamav-0.96) : \textnormal{\texttt{\$\{min-max\}MACROID\$}}}
Macro subsignatures are used to combine a number of existing extended
signatures (\verb+.ndb+) into a on-the-fly generated alternate string logical
signature (\verb+.ldb+). Signatures using macro subsignatures require \verb+Engine:51-255+
for backwards-compatibility.\\\\
Example:
\begin{verbatim}
test.ldb:
TestMacro;Engine:51-255,Target:0;0&1;616161;${6-7}12$
test.ndb:
D1:0:$12:626262
D2:0:$12:636363
D3:0:$30:626264
\end{verbatim}
The example logical signature \verb+TestMacro+ is functionally equivalent to:\\
\verb+TestMacro;Engine:51-255,Target:0;0;616161{3-4}(626262|636363)+
\begin{itemize}
\item \verb+MACROID+ points to a group of signatures; there can be at most 32 macro groups.
\begin{itemize}
\item In the example, \verb+MACROID+ is \verb+12+ and both \verb+D1+ and \verb+D2+ are members
of macro group \verb+12+. \verb+D3+ is a member of separate macro group \verb+30+.
\end{itemize}
\item \verb+{min-max}+ specifies the offset range at which one of the group signatures should match;
the offset range is relative to the starting offset of the preceding subsignature. This means a
macro subsignature cannot be the first subsignature.
\begin{itemize}
\item In the example, \verb+{min-max}+ is \verb+{6-7}+ and it is relative to the start of a \verb+616161+ match.
\end{itemize}
\item For more information and examples please see \url{https://wwws.clamav.net/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=164}.
\end{itemize}
\subsubsection{PCRE subsignatures (clamav-0.99) : \textnormal{\texttt{Trigger/PCRE/[Flags]}}}
PCRE subsignatures are used within a logical signature (\verb+.ldb+) to specify regex matches
that execute once triggered by a conditional based on preceding subsignatures. Signatures using
PCRE subsignatures require \verb+Engine:81-255+ for backwards-compatibility.
\begin{itemize}
\item \verb+Trigger+ is a required field that is a valid \verb+LogicalExpression+ and
may refer to any subsignatures that precede this subsignature. Triggers cannot be
self-referential and cannot refer to subsequent subsignatures.
\item \verb+PCRE+ is the expression representing the regex to execute. \verb+PCRE+
must be delimited by '/' and usage of '/' within the expression need to be escaped.
For backward compatibility, ';' within the expression must be expressed as '\verb+\x3B+'.
\verb+PCRE+ cannot be empty and (?UTF*) control sequence is not allowed. If debug is specified,
named capture groups are displayed in a post-execution report.
\item \verb+Flags+ are a series of characters which affect the compilation and execution
of \verb+PCRE+ within the PCRE compiler and the ClamAV engine. This field is optional.
\begin{itemize}
\item \verb+g [CLAMAV_GLOBAL]+ specifies to search for ALL matches of PCRE (default is to
search for first match). NOTE: INCREASES the time needed to run the PCRE.
\item \verb+r [CLAMAV_ROLLING]+ specifies to use the given offset as the starting location
to search for a match as opposed to the only location; applies to subsigs without maxshifts.
By default, in order to facilatate normal ClamAV offset behavior, PCREs are auto-anchored
(only attempt match on first offset); using the rolling option disables the auto-anchoring.
\item \verb+e [CLAMAV_ENCOMPASS]+ specifies to CONFINE matching between the specified offset
and maxshift; applies only when maxshift is specified. Note: DECREASES time needed to run the PCRE.
\item \verb+i [PCRE_CASELESS]+
\item \verb+s [PCRE_DOTALL]+
\item \verb+m [PCRE_MULTILINE]+
\item \verb+x [PCRE_EXTENDED]+
\item \verb+A [PCRE_ANCHORED]+
\item \verb+E [PCRE_DOLLAR_ENODNLY]+
\item \verb+U [PCRE_UNGREEDY]+
\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}

\end{verbatim}
\subsection{Icon signatures for PE files}
ClamAV 0.96 includes an approximate/fuzzy icon matcher to help
detecting malicious executables disguising themselves as innocent
looking image files, office documents and the like.
Icon matching is only triggered via .ldb signatures using the special
attribute tokens \verb+IconGroup1+ or \verb+IconGroup2+. These identify
two (optional) groups of icons defined in a .idb database file. The
format of the .idb file is:
\begin{verbatim}
ICONNAME:GROUP1:GROUP2:ICON_HASH
\end{verbatim}
where:
\begin{itemize}
\item \verb+ICON_NAME+ is a unique string identifier for a specific
icon,
\item \verb+GROUP1+ is a string identifier for the first group of
icons (\verb+IconGroup1+)
\item \verb+GROUP2+ is a string identifier for the second group of
icons (\verb+IconGroup2+),
\item \verb+ICON_HASH+ is a fuzzy hash of the icon image
\end{itemize}
The \verb+ICON_HASH+ field can be obtained from the debug output of
libclamav. For example:
\begin{verbatim}
LibClamAV debug: ICO SIGNATURE:
ICON_NAME:GROUP1:GROUP2:18e2e0304ce60a0cc3a09053a30000414100057e
000afe0000e 80006e510078b0a08910d11ad04105e0811510f084e01040c080
a1d0b0021000a39002a41
\end{verbatim}
\subsection{Signatures for Version Information metadata in PE files}
Starting with ClamAV 0.96 it is possible to easily match certain
information built into PE files (executables and dynamic link libraries).
Whenever you lookup the properties of a PE executable file in windows,
you are presented with a bunch of details about the file itself.
These info are stored in a special area of the file resources which goes
under the name of \verb+VS_VERSION_INFORMATION+ (or versioninfo for short).
It is divided into 2 parts. The first part (which is rather uninteresting)
is really a bunch of numbers and flags indicating the product and file
version. It was originally intended for use with installers which, after
parsing it, should be able to determine whether a certain executable or
library are to be upgraded/overwritten or are already up to date. Suffice
to say, this approach never really worked and is generally never used.
The second block is much more interesting: it is a simple list of key/value
strings, intended for user information and completely ignored by the OS.
For example, if you look at ping.exe you can see the company being \emph{"Microsoft
Corporation"}, the description \emph{"TCP/IP Ping command"}, the internal name
\emph{"ping.exe"} and so on... Depending on the OS version, some keys may be given
peculiar visibility in the file properties dialog, however they are internally
all the same.
To match a versioninfo key/value pair, the special file offset anchor \verb+VI+ was
introduced. This is similar to the other anchors (like \verb+EP+ and \verb+SL+)
except that, instead of matching the hex pattern against a single offset, it checks
it against each and every key/value pair in the file. The \verb+VI+ token doesn't
need nor accept a \verb#+/-# offset like e.g. \verb#EP+1#. As for the hex signature
itself, it's just the utf16 dump of the key and value. Only the \verb+??+ and
\verb+(aa|bb)+ wildcards are allowed in the signature. Usually, you don't need to
bother figuring it out: each key/value pair together with the corresponding VI-based
signature is printed by \verb+clamscan+ when the \verb+--debug+ option is given.
For example \verb+clamscan --debug freecell.exe+ produces:
\begin{verbatim}

\end{verbatim}
Although VI-based signatures are intended for use in logical signatures you can test them
using ordinary \verb+.ndb+ files. For example:
\begin{verbatim}
my_test_vi_sig:1:VI:paste_your_hex_sig_here
\end{verbatim}
Final note. If you want to decode a VI-based signature into a human readable form you can use:
\begin{verbatim}
echo hex_string | xxd -r -p | strings -el
\end{verbatim}
For example:
\begin{verbatim}
$ echo 460069006c0065004400650073006300720069007000740069006f006e
000000000045006e007400650072007400610069006e006d0065006e007400200

6d0065000000 | xxd -r -p | strings -el
FileDescription

\end{verbatim}
\subsection{Trusted and Revoked Certificates}
Clamav 0.98 checks signed PE files for certificates and verifies each
certificate in the chain against a database of trusted and revoked
certificates. The signature format is
\begin{verbatim}
Name;Trusted;Subject;Serial;Pubkey;Exponent;CodeSign;TimeSign;CertSign;
NotBefore;Comment[;minFL[;maxFL]]
\end{verbatim}
where the corresponding fields are:
\begin{itemize}
\item \verb+Name:+ name of the entry
\item \verb+Trusted:+ bit field, specifying whether the cert is
trusted. 1 for trusted. 0 for revoked
\item \verb+Subject:+ sha1 of the Subject field in hex
\item \verb+Serial:+ the serial number as clamscan --debug --verbose
reports
\item \verb+Pubkey:+ the public key in hex
\item \verb+Exponent:+ the exponent in hex. Currently ignored and
hardcoded to 010001 (in hex)
\item \verb+CodeSign:+ bit field, specifying whether this cert
can sign code. 1 for true, 0 for false
\item \verb+TimeSign:+ bit field. 1 for true, 0 for false
\item \verb+CertSign:+ bit field, specifying whether this cert
can sign other certs. 1 for true, 0 for false
\item \verb+NotBefore:+ integer, cert should not be added before
this variable. Defaults to 0 if left empty
\item \verb+Comment:+ comments for this entry
\end{itemize}
The signatures for certs are stored inside \verb+.crb+ files.
\subsection{Signatures based on container metadata}
ClamAV 0.96 allows creating generic signatures matching files stored
inside different container types which meet specific conditions.
The signature format is
\begin{verbatim}
VirusName:ContainerType:ContainerSize:FileNameREGEX:
FileSizeInContainer:FileSizeReal:IsEncrypted:FilePos:
Res1:Res2[:MinFL[:MaxFL]]
\end{verbatim}
where the corresponding fields are:
\begin{itemize}
\item \verb+VirusName:+ Virus name to be displayed when signature matches
\item \verb+ContainerType:+ one of \verb+CL_TYPE_ZIP+, \verb+CL_TYPE_RAR+,
\verb+CL_TYPE_ARJ+,\\
\verb+CL_TYPE_MSCAB+, \verb+CL_TYPE_7Z+, \verb+CL_TYPE_MAIL+, \verb+CL_TYPE_(POSIX|OLD)_TAR+,\\
\verb+CL_TYPE_CPIO_(OLD|ODC|NEWC|CRC)+ or \verb+*+ to match
any of the container types listed here
\item \verb+ContainerSize:+ size of the container file itself (eg. size of
the zip archive) specified in bytes as absolute value or range \verb+x-y+
\item \verb+FileNameREGEX:+ regular expression describing name of the target file
\item \verb+FileSizeInContainer:+ usually compressed size; for MAIL, TAR and CPIO ==
\verb+FileSizeReal+; specified in bytes as absolute value or range
\item \verb+FileSizeReal:+ usually uncompressed size; for MAIL, TAR and CPIO ==
\verb+FileSizeInContainer+; absolute value or range
\item \verb+IsEncrypted+: 1 if the target file is encrypted, 0 if it's not and
\verb+*+ to ignore
\item \verb+FilePos+: file position in container (counting from 1); absolute value
or range
\item \verb+Res1+: when \verb+ContainerType+ is \verb+CL_TYPE_ZIP+ or
\verb+CL_TYPE_RAR+ this field is treated as a CRC sum of the target file
specified in hexadecimal format; for other container types it's ignored
\item \verb+Res2+: not used as of ClamAV 0.96
\end{itemize}
The signatures for container files are stored inside \verb+.cdb+ files.
\subsection{Signatures based on ZIP/RAR metadata (obsolete)}
The (now obsolete) archive metadata signatures can be only applied
to ZIP and RAR files and have the following format:
\begin{verbatim}
virname:encrypted:filename:normal size:csize:crc32:cmethod:
fileno:max depth
\end{verbatim}
where the corresponding fields are:
\begin{itemize}
\item Virus name
\item Encryption flag (1 -- encrypted, 0 -- not encrypted)
\item File name (this is a regular expression - * to ignore)
\item Normal (uncompressed) size (* to ignore)
\item Compressed size (* to ignore)
\item CRC32 (* to ignore)
\item Compression method (* to ignore)
\item File position in archive (* to ignore)
\item Maximum number of nested archives (* to ignore)
\end{itemize}
The database file should have the extension of \verb+.zmd+ or
\verb+.rmd+ for zip or rar metadata respectively.
\subsection{Whitelist databases}
To whitelist a specific file use the MD5 signature format and place
it inside a database file with the extension of \verb+.fp+.
To whitelist a specific file with the SHA1 or SHA256 file hash signature
format, place the signature inside a database file with the extension
of \verb+.sfp+.\\
\noindent
To whitelist a specific signature from the database you just add
its name into a local file called local.ign2 stored inside the
database directory. You can additionally follow the signature name
with the MD5 of the entire database entry for this signature, eg:
\begin{verbatim}
Eicar-Test-Signature:bc356bae4c42f19a3de16e333ba3569c
\end{verbatim}
In such a case, the signature will no longer be whitelisted when
its entry in the database gets modified (eg. the signature gets
updated to avoid false alerts).
\subsection{Signature names}
ClamAV uses the following prefixes for signature names:
\begin{itemize}
\item \emph{Worm} for Internet worms
\item \emph{Trojan} for backdoor programs
\item \emph{Adware} for adware
\item \emph{Flooder} for flooders
\item \emph{HTML} for HTML files
\item \emph{Email} for email messages
\item \emph{IRC} for IRC trojans
\item \emph{JS} for Java Script malware
\item \emph{PHP} for PHP malware
\item \emph{ASP} for ASP malware
\item \emph{VBS} for VBS malware
\item \emph{BAT} for BAT malware
\item \emph{W97M}, \emph{W2000M} for Word macro viruses
\item \emph{X97M}, \emph{X2000M} for Excel macro viruses
\item \emph{O97M}, \emph{O2000M} for generic Office macro viruses
\item \emph{DoS} for Denial of Service attack software
\item \emph{DOS} for old DOS malware
\item \emph{Exploit} for popular exploits
\item \emph{VirTool} for virus construction kits
\item \emph{Dialer} for dialers
\item \emph{Joke} for hoaxes
\end{itemize}
Important rules of the naming convention:
\begin{itemize}
\item always use a -zippwd suffix in the malware name for signatures
of type zmd,
\item always use a -rarpwd suffix in the malware name for signatures
of type rmd,
\item only use alphanumeric characters, dash (-), dot (.), underscores
(\_) in malware names, never use space, apostrophe or quote mark.
\end{itemize}
\subsection{Using YARA rules in ClamAV}
ClamAV version 0.99 and above can process YARA rules. ClamAV virus database file names ending
with ``.yar'' or ``.yara'' are parsed as yara rule files. The link to the YARA rule grammar
documentation may be found at http://plusvic.github.io/yara/. There are currently a few
limitations on using YARA rules within ClamAV:
\begin{itemize}
\item YARA modules are not yet supported by ClamAV. This includes the ``import''
keyword and any YARA module-specific keywords.
\item Global rules(``global'' keyword) are not supported by ClamAV.
\item External variables(``contains'' and ``matches'' keywords) are not supported.
\item YARA rules pre-compiled with the \emph{yarac} command are not supported.
\item As in the ClamAV logical and extended signature formats, YARA strings and segments
of strings separated by wild cards must represent at least two octets of data.
\item There is a maximum of 64 strings per YARA rule.
\item YARA rules in ClamAV must contain at least one literal, hexadecimal, or
regular expression string.
\end{itemize}
In addition, there are a few more ClamAV processing modes that may affect the outcome of YARA rules.
\begin{itemize}
\item \emph{File decomposition and decompression} - Since ClamAV uses file decomposition and decompression
to find viruses within de-archived and uncompressed inner files, YARA rules executed by ClamAV
will match against these files as well.
\item \emph{Normalization} - By default, ClamAV normalizes HTML, JavaScript, and ASCII text files.
YARA rules in ClamAV will match against the normalized result. The effects of normalization
of these file types may be captured using \verb+clamscan --leave-temps --tempdir=mytempdir+.
YARA rules may then be written using the normalized file(s) found in \verb+mytempdir+.
Alternatively, starting with ClamAV 0.100.0, \verb+clamscan --normalize=no+ will prevent
normalization and only scan the raw file. To obtain similar behavior prior to 0.99.2, use
\verb+clamscan --scan-html=no+. The corresponding parameters for clamd.conf are \verb+Normalize+
and \verb+ScanHTML+.
\item \emph{YARA conditions driven by string matches} - All YARA conditions are driven by string matches in
ClamAV. This saves from executing every YARA rule on every file. Any YARA condition may be augmented
with a string match clause which is always true, such as:
\begin{verbatim}
rule CheckFileSize
{
strings:
$abc = "abc"
condition:
($abc or not $abc) and filesize < 200KB
}
\end{verbatim}
This will ensure that the YARA condition always performs the desired action (checking the file size in this example),
\end{itemize}
\subsection{Passwords for archive files [experimental]}
ClamAV 0.99 allows for users to specify password attempts for certain password-compatible archives.
Passwords will be attempted in order of appearance in the password signature file which use the extension
of \verb+.pwdb+. If no passwords apply or none are provided, ClamAV will default to the original
behavior of parsing the file.
Currently, as of ClamAV 0.99 [flevel 81], only \verb+.zip+ archives using the traditional PKWARE encryption
are supported.
The signature format is
\begin{verbatim}
SignatureName;TargetDescriptionBlock;PWStorageType;Password
\end{verbatim}
where:
\begin{itemize}
\item \verb+SignatureName+: name to be displayed during debug when a password is successful
\item \verb+TargetDescriptionBlock+: provides information about the engine and target file with comma separated Arg:Val pairs
\begin{itemize}
\item \verb+Engine:X-Y+: Required engine functionality
\item \verb+Container:CL_TYPE_*+: File type of applicable containers
\end{itemize}
\item \verb+PWStorageType+: determines how the password field is parsed
\begin{itemize}
\item 0 = cleartext
\item 1 = hex
\end{itemize}
\item \verb+Password+: value used in password attempt
\end{itemize}
The signatures for password attempts are stored inside \verb+.pwdb+ files.
\section{Special files}
\subsection{HTML}
ClamAV contains a special HTML normalisation code which helps to detect
HTML exploits. Running \verb+sigtool --html-normalise+ on a HTML file
should generate the following files:
\begin{itemize}
\item nocomment.html - the file is normalized, lower-case, with all
comments and superfluous white space removed
\item notags.html - as above but with all HTML tags removed
\end{itemize}
The code automatically decodes JScript.encode parts and char ref's (e.g.
\verb+f+). You need to create a signature against one of the created
files. To eliminate potential false positive alerts the target type should
be set to 3.
\subsection{Text files}
Similarly to HTML all ASCII text files get normalized (converted
to lower-case, all superfluous white space and control characters removed,
etc.) before scanning. Use \verb+clamscan --leave-temps+ to obtain
a normalized file then create a signature with the target type 7.
\subsection{Compressed Portable Executable files}
If the file is compressed with UPX, FSG, Petite or other PE packer
supported by libclamav, run \verb+clamscan+ with
\verb+--debug --leave-temps+. Example output for a FSG compressed file:
\begin{verbatim}
LibClamAV debug: UPX/FSG/MEW: empty section found - assuming compression
LibClamAV debug: FSG: found old EP @119e0
LibClamAV debug: FSG: Unpacked and rebuilt executable saved in
/tmp/clamav-f592b20f9329ac1c91f0e12137bcce6c
\end{verbatim}
Next create a type 1 signature for \verb+/tmp/clamav-f592b20f9329ac1c91f0e12137bcce6c+
