5 - What kind of protection could i use (Anti-Virus software) ?
Antivirus for Linux detect only windows viruses.
Not totally true. I know that F-Prot will detect Windows virii on a Linux machine, but it will also look for Unix/Linux worms and trojans within the system. You can download it for free (personal use with Linux) and it is inexpensive on Windows and seems to work. I haven't tried the server side stuff for Linux or Windows.
Out of interest Does it list which Unix/Linux infections it checks for? If so how many?
SIGN.DEF created 1 September 2003 SIGN2.DEF created 2 September 2003 MACRO.DEF created 1 September 2003 DOS/Windows: 25588 viruses and 36998 Trojans Word/Excel: 7939 viruses and Trojans Java: 2 viruses and 121 Trojans BAT: 2067 viruses and Trojans IRC INI: 1173 viruses and Trojans Script: 3609 viruses and Trojans INF: 5 viruses and Trojans Unix shell: 236 viruses and Trojans Ami: 2 viruses and Trojans WinBat: 4 viruses and Trojans PIF: 19 viruses and Trojans PalmOS: 4 viruses and Trojans PHP: 10 viruses and Trojans Unix: 259 viruses and Trojans In addition, over 15750 viruses are identified using generic identification, so the total number of viruses and Trojans known to F-PROT is somewhere over 93700. As you can see most of them are DOS/Windows type stuff, but there are several that are on other platforms as well. I have included a small sample of the Unix virii and trojans below, but there are many more. You can list them out with the program and according to 'wc -l | grep -i unix' there are 506 lines.
