Show HN: ViruSaas – Virus Checks as a Service Hi all, here is a side project I've just launched which might come in handy for certain situations. It's a very simple and free "do one thing and do it well" online service with exactly one feature: you upload a file, and it tells you — based on a ClamAV check — if that file contains a virus or not. I'm not having any ambitious plans with this project, but thanks to very low operational costs, I thought I can as well put it out there and keep it alive — maybe it's even useful for some people every now and then (just today, one of my coworkers forwarded me a fishy-looking email with an attachment, and using virusaas.com turned out to be the least painful way to do this kind of one-off check for a virus). I've also released the source code of the web app under GPLv3 at https://ift.tt/CyuZtao , although it's not as polished as it could be (no tests, for example — but see above, no ambitious plans). The main reason to do the project was to follow through with my own tutorial at https://ift.tt/jzxpnvo... , which worked out quite nicely. https://ift.tt/Z47qbgM September 14, 2022 at 05:19PM
Show HN: Launch VM workloads securely and instantaneously, without VMs Hello HN! We've been working on a new hypervisor https://kwarantine.xyz that can run strongly isolated containers. This is still a WIP, but we wanted to give the community an idea about our approach, its benefits, and various use cases it unlocks. Today, VMs are used to host containers, and make up for the lack of strong security as well as kernel isolation in containers. This work adds this missing security piece in containers. We plan on launching a free private beta soon. Meanwhile, we'd deeply appreciate any feedback, and happy to answer any questions here or on our slack channel. Thanks! April 29, 2021 at 07:50AM
