Definitions
- This invention relates to virus scanning in a networked environment.
- Computer networking and the Internet in particular offer end users unprecedented access to information of all types on a global basis. Access to information can be as simple as connecting some type of computing device using a standard phone line to a network. With the proliferation of wireless communication, users can now access computer networks from practically anywhere.
- Virus protection software can be very effective in dealing with viruses, and virus protection software is widely available for general computing devices such as personal computers. There are, however, problems unique to specialized computing devices, such as filers (devices dedicated to storage and retrieval of data). Off-the-shelf virus protection software will not run on a specialized computing device unless it is modified to do so, and it can be very expensive to rewrite software to work on another platform.
- a first known method is to scan for viruses at the data source. When the data is being provided by a specialized computing device the specialized computing device must be scanned. Device-specific virus protection software must be written in order to scan the files on the device.
- a second known method for protecting against computer viruses is to have the end user run anti-virus software on their client device.
- Anti- virus software packages are offered by such companies as McAfee and Symantec. These programs are loaded during the boot stage of a computer and work as a background job monitoring memory and files as they are opened and saved.
- hand-held computing devices are susceptible to viruses, but they are poorly equipped to handle them.
- hand-held computing devices have very limited memory resources compared to desktop systems. Dedicating a portion of these resources to virus protection severely limits the ability of the hand-held device to perform effectively. Reliable virus scanning at the information source is the most efficient and effective method.
- the invention provides a method and system for scanning specialized computing devices (such as filers) for viruses.
- a filer is connected to one or more supplementary computing devices that scan requested files to ensure they are virus free prior to delivery to end users.
- the filer determines whether the file requested must be scanned before delivery to the end user.
- the filer opens a channel to one of the external computing devices and sends the filename.
- the external computing device opens the file and scans it.
- the external computing device notifies the filer the status of the file scan operation.
- the filer sends the file to the end user provided the status indicates it may do so.
- Scan reports for files that have been scanned may be stored in one or more of the external computing devices, in one or more filers, and some portion of a scan report may be delivered to end users.
- one or more of the external computing devices may be n ⁇ ining other supplementary applications, such as file compression and encryption, independently or in some combination.
- Figure 1 shows a block diagram of a system for decentralized appliance virus scanning.
- FIG. 2 shows a process flow diagram for a system for decentralized virus scanning Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiment
- client and server in general, these terms refer to a relationship between two devices, particularly to their relationship as client and server, not necessarily to any particular physical devices.
- a particular client device in a first relationship with a first server device can serve as a server device in a second relationship with a second client device.
- client device and server device in general, these terms refer to devices taking on the role of a client device or a server device in a client-server relationship (such as an HTTP web client and web server).
- client devices or server devices There is no particular requirement that any client devices or server devices must be individual physical devices. They can each be a single device, a set of cooperating devices, a portion of a device, or some combination thereof.
- the client device and the server device in a client-server relation can actually be the same physical device, with a first set of software elements serving to perform client functions and a second set of software elements serving to perform server functions.
- web client and web server refer to any combination of devices or software taking on the role of a web client or a web server in a client-server environment in the internet, the world wide web, or an equivalent or extension thereof.
- web clients must be individual devices. They can each be a single device, a set of cooperating devices, a portion of a device, or some combination thereof (such as for example a device providing web server services that acts as an agent of the user).
- Figure 1 shows a block diagram of a system for decentralized appliance virus scanning.
- a system 100 includes a client device 110 associated with a user 111, a communications network 120, a filer 130, and a processing cluster 140.
- the client device 110 includes a processor, a main memory, and software for executing instructions (not shown, but understood by one skilled in the art). Although the client device 110 and filer 130 are shown as separate devices there is no requirement that they be physically separate.
- the communication network 120 includes the Internet.
- the communication network 120 may include alternative forms of communication, such as an intranet, extranet, virtual private network, direct communication links, or some other combination or conjunction thereof.
- a communications link 115 operates to couple the client device 110 to the communications network 120.
- the filer 130 includes a processor, a main memory, software for executing instructions (not shown, but understood by one skilled in the art), and a mass storage 131. Although the client device 110 and filer 130 are shown as separate devices there is no requirement that they be separate devices. The filer 130 is connected to the communications network 120.
- the mass storage 131 includes at least one file 133 that is capable of being requested by a client device 110.
- the processing cluster 140 includes one or more cluster device 141 each including a processor, a main memory, software for executing instructions, and a mass storage (not shown but understood by one skilled in the art). Although the filer 130 and the processing cluster 140 are shown as separate devices there is no requirement that they be separate devices.
- the processing cluster 140 is a plurality of personal computers in an interconnected cluster capable of mtercornmunication and direct communication with the filer 130.
- the cluster link 135 operates to connect the processing cluster 140 to the filer 130.
- the cluster link 135 may include non-uniform memory access (NUMA), or communication via an intranet, extranet, virtual private network, direct communication links, or some other combination or conjunction thereof.
- NUMA non-uniform memory access
- Figure 2 shows a process flow diagram for a system for decentralized appliance virus scanning.
- a method 200 includes a set of flow points and a set of steps.
- the system 100 performs the method 200.
- the steps of the method 200 can be performed by separate elements in conjunction or in parallel, whether asynchronously, in a pipelined manner, or otherwise. There is no particular requirement that the method 200 be performed in the same order in which this description lists the steps, except where so indicated.
- the system 100 is ready to begin performing the method 200.
- a user 111 utilizes the client device 110 to initiate a request for a file 133.
- the request is transmitted to the filer 130 via the communications network 120.
- the filer 130 is performing file retrieval and storage at the direction of a web server (not shown but understood by one skilled in the art).
- the filer 130 receives the request for the file 133 and sends the file ID and path of the file 133 to the processing cluster 140 where it is received by one of the cluster device 141.
- the cluster device 141 uses the file ID and path to open the file 133 in the mass storage 131 of the filer 130.
- the cluster device 141 scans the file 133 for viruses.
- files are tasked to the processing cluster 140 in a round robin fashion.
- files may be processed individually by a cluster device 141, by multiple cluster device 141 simultaneously, or some combination thereof. Load balancing may be used to ensure maximum efficiency of processing within the processing cluster 140.
- the processing cluster 140 is highly scalable. The price of personal computers is low compared to dedicated devices, such as filers, therefore this configuration is very desirable. Additionally, a cluster configuration offers redundant systems availability in case a cluster device 141 fails - failover and takeover is also possible within the processing cluster.
- the cluster device 141 transmits a scan report to the filer 130.
- the scan report primarily reports whether the file is safe to send. Further information may be saved for statistical purposes (for example, how many files have been identified as infected, was the virus software able to sanitize the file or was the file deleted) to a database.
- the database may be consulted to determine whether the file 133 needs to be scanned before delivery upon receipt of a subsequent request. If the file 133 has not changed since it was last scanned and no additional virus data files have been added to the processing cluster, the file 133 probably does not need to be scanned. This means the file 133 can be delivered more quickly.
- intermediary applications may also run separately, in conjunction with other applications, or in some combination thereof within the processing cluster 140. Compression and encryption utilities are some examples of these applications. These types of applications, including virus scanning, can be very CPU intensive, thus outsourcing can yield better performance by allowing a dedicated device like a filer to do what it does best and farm out other tasks to the processing cluster 140.
- the filer 130 transmits or does not transmit the file 133 to the client 110 based on its availability as reported following the scan by the processing cluster 140. Some portion of the scan report may also be transmitted to the user.
- a request for a file 133 has been received, the request has been processed, and if possible a file 133 has been delivered.
- the process may be repeated at step 201 for subsequent requests.
- the invention has wide applicability and generality to other aspects of processing requests for files.
- the invention is applicable to one or more of, or some combination of, circumstances such as those involving:
