Scan8 - Web-scanner

The Scan8 project aims to develop a distributed scanning system for detecting malicious threats such as trojans, viruses, and malware embedded in files. The current system only supports scanning binaries, but this project proposes the development of a plugin to capture all the content of a given URL and submit it to the Scan8 scanner for analysis. The plugin will allow users to submit a list of URLs or files to the system, and receive scan results in return. By expanding the capabilities of the Scan8 system to include scanning web-based content, the project seeks to improve the detection and prevention of online threats. The expected results of the project include the successful development and implementation of the plugin, which will be integrated into the existing Scan8 system. The plugin will enable the system to analyze web-based content, providing a more comprehensive approach to threat detection. Overall, the Scan8 project aims to enhance online security and protect users from potential threats through the development of an advanced scanning system.
