What is malwatch?

Malwatch is a fast and lightweight malware scanner written in go for Linux web servers. It is capable of scaling to any requirements and is currently used with some of the internet's largest deployments.

Besides excellent detection rates, key design considerations are low resource usage and high performance. A powerful and easy to understand api is provided to cover your alerting requirements and platform integration.

Real time monitoring is also featured. The number of files present on the system or volume being created / changed does not influence startup time, memory or cpu usage because a queue design ensures there would always be the same resource usage as an equivalent ondemand file scan. The result is an extremely efficient monitoring presence which would otherwise be impractical due to resource usage.

A complete malware signature set is included with updates.
