lbh - CyberSoft's Loopback Head Tool

CyberSoft, Inc.'s Loopback Head Tool is part of the VFind Security ToolKit. lbh is used along with lbt(1) to ensure that unchanged but infected files are reanalysed by vfind(1). lbh will read filenames from a database. This database can be created anyway the user wishes so long as it is a flat text file that contains one filename per line. lbt(1) is provided as part of the VSTK to use vfind(1) output to create a database suitable for use with lbh. After reading from the database, lbh will read data from the standard input stream and write it to the standard output stream.

OPTIONS

-c, --copyright

Display copyright information and then exit. All other options will be ignored.

-h, -?, --help

Display usage message and then exit. All other options will be ignored.

-v, --version

Display version information and then exit. All other options will be ignored.

-db=name, --database=name

Use name as the database. Without this option, lbh will enter passthru mode (read from stdin and write to stdout).

INPUT

lbh can read filenames from up to two places.

lbh will read a database created by a program such as lbt(1).

lbh will also read filenames from the standard input stream. lbh will read from stdin regardless of whether or not it successfully parsed a database. This behaviour is called passthru mode.

Example:

    find / -type f | cit | lbh -db=lb.db | \
      uad -s -ssw | vfind -ssr | lbt -db=lb.db -a

Please report all bugs to support@cyber.com Make sure to include the version of lbh, the platform and OS, the script or command used, the complete output showing the bug, a short description of the problem, and contact information.
