EnglishLFC·3 năm trước·discussIt's always amusing when someone discovers DNS TXT records. ClamAV has been using them to announce the latest versions for more years than I care to remember.$ dig +short -t txt current.cvd.clamav.net "0.103.8:62:26972:1689593340:1:90:49192:334"For anyone interested, Freshclam interprets this as:Latest ClamAV version: 0.103.8 Latest Main DB version: 62 Latest Daily DB version: 26972 UNIX Timestamp 1689593340...and then some other version numbers and things I don't remember, one is probably a bytecode DB version 334, f-level 90 maybe.Anyway, nothing new, works as designed. You can do all kinds of neat tricks with it. DNS has a lot going on that most people don't (ab)use.
