UAE based Amiga virus scanner for POSIX
========================================
What is this contraption?
--------------------------
A command line based Amiga virus scanner for Linux and similar systems.
Usage:
Either of
./amiga-uae-virus-scan.sh floppy-to-test.adf
or
./amiga-uae-virus-scan.sh directory-to-scan
What this can, and cannot scan
-------------------------------
Anything that CheckX, XAD, and XFD understand.
This includes entire ADF files.
However note that floppy images will be exposed to CheckX
as *files* rather than be mounted, thus rendering it
incapable of e.g. scanning IPF files.
This script will scan only one element at a time, but that
can be an entire folder structure.
If you wish to scan raw floppies in strange image formats
which are understood by FS-UAE, but not by CheckX, then
change the script to mount the image as `DF1:`
(see `write_uae_config()`), and to have it scan that drive
rather than a folder structure (see `populate_dh0()`).
Theory of operation
--------------------
This is a script that:
- prepares a virtual Amiga hard drive,
- installs a virus scanner onto it,
- copies the files to be scanned onto it,
- runs FS-UAE,
- and finally prints the results to stdout.
If you abort the process by pressing Ctrl+C, there will be
stale files in /tmp.
Dependencies
-------------
The script will automatically download several archives from
Aminet unless they have already been cached locally.
See `installer_urls` for details.
Security
---------
The files downloaded from Aminet are checked against local
SHA-256 checksums.
Files to be analyzed are copied into the virtual system first,
to ensure that we do not have to grant it access to host files.
Thus, even if something exploits a security issue in the Amiga
virus scanner, it won't be able to break the host unless it
also breaks FS-UAE.
Thanks

Acknowledgements go out to the authors of the software used,
as well as to Aminet for hosting it.
Thanks also to the UAE authors, and of course to the AROS
kickstart hackers.
This would not be possible without you.
