limitation). Virus definition updates are released
constantly. This product has regularly passed the stringent
test of Virus Bulletin and achieved VB100% award.

About
Dazuko
This project provides a
device driver allowing 3rd-party (userland) applications to
execute file access control. It was originally developed by
H+BEDV Datentechnik GmbH to allow on-access virus scanning.
Other uses include a file-access monitor/logger or external
security implementations. It operates by intercepting file
access calls and passing the file information to a 3rd-party
application. The 3rd-party application then has the
opportunity to tell the device driver to allow or deny the
file access. The 3rd-party application also receives
information about the access event, such as accessed file,
type of access, process id, and user id.
Dazuko has been released as
Free Software in order to allow users to compile the device
driver for their own custom kernels. It also gives the
project an opportunity to establish a common interface for
3rd-party file access control. Free Software provides the
added benefit of increased robustness and security, having
many eyes investigates the source code. Although H+BEDV
Datentechnik GmbH will continue to support the project and
provide commercial software that utilizes the Dazuko driver
via its interface, this project is Free Software and is in
no way owned by H+BEDV Datentechnik GmbH. This project
provides a fully functional device driver with a
well-defined interface, allowing any organization to develop
software to utilize Dazuko.
The current status of the
project is usable for Linux 2.2-2.6 and FreeBSD 4/5. However
we would like to see the project expand to support other
operating systems such as MacOS X, Solaris, OpenBSD, and
Windows, as well as expand in functional capabilities.
