Linux Malware Detect vs ConfigServer eXploit Scanner
Any experience in using these tools. Do they achieve the same results? CSX has the advantage of being integrated in cPanel but the disadvantage of not being free.

They perform different jobs.
Anyway:
Maldet is actively worked on with hundreds of new signatures added every month. Ryan is also working with clamav to have those same signatures included in their software.
FYI: CXS is not going to detect malware that has been uploaded through an RFI exploit unless you run an on-demand scan.Last edited by Steven; 09-15-2010 at 11:33 AM.

Maldet does not detect all malicious scripts.
Opt for cxs.Hillock Hosting

One could argue the very same for CXS, none will detect every single threat. However, LMD is community supported and allows for users to easily submit signatures for addition to the project in addition to some glaring project principles that set it apart from CXS, in how signature data is gathered and features such as real-time monitoring.
Check out http://www.rfxn.com/projects/linux-malware-detect/ for all the details and the latest blog post for LMD at:

Our thoughts are similar to Steven's in a way.
How about an authoritative and all-inclusive signature database, which can be used by all these so that everyone get benefited?Last edited by tuxg; 09-18-2010 at 03:16 PM.

By working with ClamAV malware team to exchange signature data and along with the CymRU malware hash registery, the LMD project contributes back to the malware detection community at large and helps to strengthen other existing tools in providing accurate and current threat detection. I should also point out that LMD also helps CXS by doing this in that CXS is a wrapper for ClamAV to an extent and in improving ClamAV malware detection, LMD is indirectly improving CXS.

The initial scan from lmd is resource expensive, further scans are not.
