Let’s review the changes:

Hooks 2.0 for ImunifyAV

Starting from version 5.1, ImunifyAV/AV+ provides a completely new Hooks system configuration. Hooks can be configured via the separate UI “Notifications” tab in the Settings, or via the command-line interface (CLI).

ImunifyAVHooks

It provides an intuitive way to configure hooks (different asynchronous system events), the administrator can configure to execute custom scripts (“hook handler”). Also, new hooks support a new set of events and notification types:

Events occurring in each type of scan (real-time scan, user account scan, custom folder scan)
Events occurring at different stages of malware scanning process: upon scanning start, finish, when malware is found

Each hook can be configured from the UI and the CLI. Each hook type has the enable/disabled toggle and event handler script.

Imunify also allows hooks to be managed through the CLI. Here are some examples:

Enable hook on CUSTOM_SCAN_STRTED event:

# imunify-antivirus notifications-config update '{"rules": {"CUSTOM_SCAN_STARTED": {"SCRIPT": {"enabled": true, "scripts": ["/bin/hook"]}}}}'

Change period for SCRIPT hook for REALTIME_MALWARE_FOUND event to 1 minute:

# imunify360-antivirus notifications-config update '{"rules": {"REALTIME_MALWARE_FOUND": {"/scripts/suspend-website.py": {"period": 60}}}}'

Note:

The hook script field accepts a fully qualified path

The hook script requires “execution” (+x) permissions to be set to work
Email notifications available in Imunify360
