Description

PHP Antimalware Scanner is a free tool to scan PHP files and analyze your project to find any malicious code inside it.

It provides an interactive text terminal console interface to scan a file, or all files in a given directory (file paths can also be managed using --filter-paths or --ignore-paths), and find PHP code files that seem to contain malicious code. When a probable malware is detected, will be asked what action to take (like add to the whitelist, delete files, try clean infected code, etc).

The package can also scan the PHP files in a report mode (--report|-r), so without interacting and outputting anything to the terminal console. In that case, the results will be stored in a report file in HTML (default) or text format (--report-format <format>).

This scanner can work on your own php projects and on a lot of other platforms using the right combination of configurations (ex. using --lite|-l flag can help to find less false positivity).

⚠️ Remember that you will be solely responsible for any damage to your computer system or loss of data that results from such activities. You are solely responsible for adequate protection and backup of the data before executing the scanner.

🔎 Scanning mode

The first think you need to decide is the strength, you need to calibrate your scan to find less false positive as possible during scanning without miss for real malware. For this you can choose the aggression level.

The scanner permit to have some predefined modes:

💻 Usage

Command line

php amwscan ./mywebsite/http/ -l -s --only-exploits
php amwscan -s --max-filesize="5MB"
php amwscan -s -logs="/user/marco/scanner.log"
php amwscan --lite --only-exploits
php amwscan --exploits="double_var2" --functions="eval, str_replace"
php amwscan --ignore-paths="/my/path/*.log,/my/path/*/cache/*"

Doesn't work?

In case above command doesn't work, you can use script responsible for malware scan manually by executing: php dist/scanner <path>

To check all options check the Documentation

Suggestions

If you are running the scanner on a Wordpress project or other popular platform use --only-signatures or --lite flag to have check with less false positive but this could miss some dangerous exploits like nano.

Programmatically

On programmatically silent mode and auto skip are automatically enabled.

use AMWScan\Scanner;

$app = new Scanner();
$report = $app->setPathScan("my/path/to/scan")
              ->enableBackups()
              ->setPathBackups("/my/path/backups")
              ->enableLiteMode()
              ->setAutoClean()
              ->run();
