Patrick Kibies (Jan 17 2024 at 15:25):we at TU Dortmund are working on a Dataverse instance. One of the question we still have, what the best way of virus checking on upload would be. We are aware of the possibility to implement a virus scanning step in a pre-publication workflow, but that would be a little bit too late, since unpublished data might also be shared between users having sufficient access. Has someone implemented a virus scan on upload, maybe using clamav. A completely different way could be to inspect the ingoing network traffic, but a solution within Dataverse, producing a meaningful and understandable error message and as the icing on the cake an email alert to certain persons seems favorable...
Patrick Kibies (Jan 17 2024 at 15:26):I'd like to exchange some opinions and ideas on this matter.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jan 17 2024 at 16:21):Hi! Someone asked a while ago on the mailing list. I'm not aware of any installation scanning files for viruses.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jan 17 2024 at 16:22):You'll reach more people on the mailing list. You could consider asking there.
