Operating Principles

The component is designed to refer to the Dr.Web Cloud service to scan contents of the specified file for threats unknown to the local Dr.Web Scanning Engine, and to check whether the specified URL belongs to any of Doctor Web’s predefined categories of web resources.

Dr.Web CloudD is automatically run by the configuration daemon. The component is run upon receiving a command from the user or one of the Dr.Web for UNIX Internet Gateways components. The operation scheme is shown in the figure below.

Figure 21. Diagram of the components’ operation

This component is used for the requests to the Dr.Web Cloud service for scanning of the user requested URL by the scanning component for the network traffic and URL SpIDer Gate and the Dr.Web ICAPD.

Besides that, the component is used during the scanning of files on the command from the Dr.Web for UNIX Internet Gateways product management utility from the command line Dr.Web Ctl (it is started by the drweb-ctl command): upon detection of threats, the Dr.Web Scanning Engine scanning engine sends a report about the file to Dr.Web Cloud.
