| Subject: | Extracting signature snippets from AV databases |

| Date: | Mon, 8 May 2006 13:37:24 -0700 |
I'd like to create a set of test files containing (harmless) virus (and spyware) signatures. Can I extract the signatures from AV databases (every PC has one)? I'm thinking open source AV database may be easier to extract signatures from than a commercial AV database. If I can automate the extraction and file creation, files won't become stale because of lag time due to fluxuating interest of the maintainer (me). Has this been done already? Are specific signatures a 'secret sauce'? The primary purpose is to create a test that safely verifies that our browser protection product absolutely protects a computer from intentional infection.
