Good news guys
Windows Defender has been successfully ported to Linux. Now we can ensure we keep our systems free of malware
>This project does not replace Wine or Winelib.
>Winelib is used to port Windows C++ projects to Linux, and Wine is intended to run full Windows applications. This project is intended to allow native Linux code to load simple Windows DLLs.

what the fuck
why
4 te lulz
So pentesters can avoid Windows testbench machines, I would guess.
ha ha lol :)
what else can we port to linux? :P

LEECH THE M$ D/L BEFORE THE JEWS MODIFY IT.
DO IT NOW.
It's kind of like putting a doorknob on a sliding door - somebody with a loose understanding of the subject probably asked for it and the person who made it didn't care enough to ask why.
The rationale is on the github. It's so he doesn't have to run windows to fuzz (test) his windows libraries.
>Linux
only people that use that shit are faggots on Sup Forums
Hhhholy shit
Can't think of too many cases where I'd want to use a PE/COFF library in a native Linux application, but cool I guess.
WannaCry 2
Anyone have a checksum of mpam-fe.exe?
What should I be using then?
free software.
because he's fed up with using windows to work on his windows libraries
no, really
Yep, linux scans windows computers for malware better than windows using windows software.
windows defender takes 20-30mins to full scan, while malwarebyte takes 5minutes fullscan + rootkits
The software no one ever wanted is finally here!
B-but that's Windows defender, I don't want it to defend my loonix
>implying malwarebytes hasn't been a pile of shit for years
Cmon now son you're smarter than that.
>tfw when you've moved all your legacy windows bullshit to VMs and then have your host run the malware scans virtually
I doubt there is any practical use case for this.
Why can't wincucks leave us alone. We don't want that cancer

>protects windows from windows malware
>port it to linux
>to protect linux from windows malware
wew, this fucking guy!
Now i can protect my linux machine from all those nasty windows viruses
>Good news
Absolute madman, but he need it for testing, so why not?
ITT: not understanding that this is a general tool to load dll files on linux and loading windows defender is just showing off.
someone didn't get that?
Like, all the people complaining that it's useless.
And common sense
surely they read the descript--
ah, i see
Isn't this actually pretty useful for mail servers?
there are other av's available for that, namely clamav
this isn't made because using defender in linux is useful, but because fuzzing defender in linux is useful
>free software
>No viruses
pick one.
Sure, I didn't mean replacing but complementing.
Well I pick free software then, I certainly can't pick "no viruses".
So will this benefit running other windows applications on linux, or is it just for Windows Defender?
Nobody actually needs simplistic dll functionality from windows (aside from drivers covered by ndiswrapper), it aids in running windows software on windows machines from a linux machine.
Eeexactly
>clamav
A total piece of crap.

>It is possible for hackers to craft files that are booby-trapped with malicious code, and this nasty payload is executed inadvertently and automatically by the scanner while inspecting messages, downloads and other files. The injected code runs with administrative privileges, allowing it to gain full control of the system, install spyware, steal files, and so on.
>clamav
>A total piece of crap.
It's fine for what it's normally used for, which is basic filtering of files for common windows malware.
This is fantastic.
Anyone know where we're at for getting Edge running on Linux?
