Anti virus scan device that pfSense is installed on?
-
Hello fellow Netgate community,
Can anyone help? Is there a way to scan a Netgate 2100 SSD for viruses? A scan that has the ability to scan the full Netgate's filesystem. What can we do to get Clamav to run a quick scan on the device not just the proxy.Make sure to upvote

Well, you could try a live OS on a USB stick. There are plenty of Linux ones around, though you have to make sure it can work with the file system. Also, it's unlikely you have a virus. Unlike Windows, there are not likely to be a viable virus for BSD. That's certainly the case with Linux. Given you don't run apps the way you do on a desktop system, read email etc., it would be hard for a virus to even reach pfsense, let alone do any damage.

@jonathanlee And what antivirus could run heuristic scans on freebsd?
A firewall can and should be tested with penetration testing
Apart from that, an open source system is open to inspection for the ones that dare to do it. -
Mmm, you could probably run a scan manually using ClamAV if it's installed and updated.
No idea if it has any signatures for 64bit ARM FreeBSD though!
