Expanding Batch-Antivirus functionality for general file sorting/recognition

[shodanx2]

Hi,

I found this thread and it seems to be something right up your alley

So, imagine using your program but not just for detecting viruses, but detecting any known file and it's origin.

For instance this dataset

https://www.nist.gov/itl/ssd/software-quality-group/national-software-reference-library-nsrl/nsrl-download/current-rds

One use I looking for was, to scan entire hard drives and report only files not in the database.

All operating files and program would be in this database, so it would be a great way to find all user's lost files no matter where they stuffed it !

Hi, thanks for your suggestion.

Unfortunately, I don't think it's possible to embed a 91 GB or even a 13 GB database on Batch Antivirus. Furthermore, due to performance issues related to batch, it would take hours to do a search on a file. In order to fix this issue, an SQL reader program would have to be embedded which would mean more external programs, thus being more a pack of applications with a batch launcher. Nonetheless, I appreciate your suggestion, and I'm open to other suggestions.

Thanks for your comment,
