Question
What are the recommended agent anti-virus exclusions for Linux?
Answer
| Path/Location | Information |
|---|
| /opt/bit9/bin/ | Agent Application and Uninstall script |
| /srv/bit9/data/ | Agent Database and Diagnostic Logs |
| /lib/modules/kernelversion/kernel/lib/b9k*.ko | Agent Kernel Driver |
| /lib/modules/kernelversion/kernel/lib/cbproxy_cbp_*.ko | Agent Proxy Module |
| /etc/rc*/*b9daemon and /etc/init.d/b9daemon | Agent Startup Script |
| /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/90b9notifier.sh | Agent Block Notifier |
Additional Notes
- Some vendors require trailing asterisks (*) when entering exclusions. Sub-folders should be included in the exclusions. Please refer to the vendors documentation.
- The agent is considered a "Real Time" scanner. It also has a self-protection mechanism to mitigate tampering with the agents services or files. It is important to set these exclusions up as interference from other security products can cause inter-operability and performance issues.
