Need a virus to download

Hi guys,

I know I saw a post a few weeks ago regarding downloading viruses for test environments, i can't seem to find it and i forgot to bookmark the links provided.

Im trying to test Junipers built in AV scanner software on http traffic.

Is it possible someone could hook me up with some links and I will be most happy

Cheers!

EICAR is supposed to be an industry standard test 'string' that will be detected.

Good luck!

Just download some things from Kazza or similar. You'll surely get some viruses.

well - just put that eicar file to a dummy ftp server - (since if you put that file on public ftp server it will be deleted)

Hi rossonieri
