Linux Malware Detect or just Maldet is free and open source malware scanner for Linux machines. It scans the machine for known malwares and quarantine suspicious files or simply alert you for their presence. It uses threat data from network edge intrusion detection systems to extract malware that is actively being used in attacks and generates signatures for detection. In addition, threat data is also derived from user submissions with the LMD checkout feature and from malware community resources.
