Dazuko

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dazuko project provides a device driver for Linux allowing third-party (userland) applications to execute file access control. It was originally developed by Avira GmbH (formerly known as H+BEDV Datentechnik GmbH) to allow on-access virus scanning. Other uses include a file-access monitor/logger or external security implementations. It operates by intercepting file access calls and passing the file information to a third-party application. The third-party application then has the opportunity to tell the device driver to allow or deny the file access. The third-party application also receives information about the access event, such as accessed file, type of access, process id, and user id.

It is licensed under BSD license.

Dazuko can be used by antivirus software.
