RE: Extracting signature snippets from AV databases

Hi Jose,

I'm familiar with EICAR.  However I'd like to trigger signatures across
the board.  

Ultimately I'd like to run a real malware test, but that can only be
done in an isolated lab, and that requires a continuous investment of
time and money to insure the collection is up to date.  

http://www.av-test.org/ is another possibility, but I have no contacts
there, and it's somewhat isolated proof (can't touch the environment,
and it's a run-once deal).

Has this been done already?  Are specific signatures a 'secret sauce'?
