scan-tool is a command line tool that scans selected files for malicious content. It uses the public ReST API provided by VirusTotal to scan files.
- GitHub Actions:
- GitLab CI:
To build the scan-tool from source you need a C++ compiler with support for C++17, CMake 3.8 or later, the cURL library (>=7.17), as well as the libarchive, libzip and zlib libraries. pkg-config is required to make it easier to find compiler options for the installed libraries. It also helps to have Git, a distributed version control system, on your build system to get the latest source code directly from the Git repository.
All of that can usually be installed by typing
apt-get install cmake g++ git libarchive-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev \
libzip-dev zlib1g-dev pkg-config
or
yum install cmake gcc-c++ git libarchive-devel libcurl-devel libzip-devel \
zlib-devel pkgconfig
into a root terminal.
Get the source directly from Git by cloning the Git repository and change to the directory after the repository is completely cloned:
git clone https://gitlab.com/striezel/scan-tool.git ./scan-tool
cd scan-tool
git submodule update --init
That's it, you should now have the current source code of scan-tool on your machine.
The build process is relatively easy, because CMake does all the preparations. Starting in the root directory of the source, you can do the following steps:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../
make -j4
The build commands as described above also create files for a small test suite for scan-tool. The test suite uses CTest, which usually comes with CMake. To run the test suite, make sure you are still in the build directory that was created during the build process and then type:
ctest -V
If all tests succeeded, the output of the above command should end with something like:
100% tests passed, 0 tests failed out of 40
Total Test time (real) = 85.99 sec
That's an indication that the basic functionality of scan-tool still works as it was intended by the developer.
