Build Antivirus Scanner in Python

Описание: An Antivirus Scanner is a tool that checks files for signs of malware—like viruses, worms, or trojans. It does this by looking for known patterns (called signatures), suspicious behavior, or weird file characteristics. Basically, it’s your digital bouncer, kicking out the shady files. 🦠🚫

Now, if students build their own Antivirus Scanner in Python, even a basic one, they’ll learn some next-level stuff:

🧠 How malware works—what it looks like, how it hides, and how it behaves.

🧰 How to scan files, read their contents (binary or text), and compare them against signature databases or hash lists.

🔍 How to use hashlib, regular expressions, and maybe even static analysis to detect bad stuff.

🛡️ How real antivirus tools balance between speed, accuracy, and false positives.

💡 And how defenders think when building detection and prevention systems.

They’re not just coding a scanner—they’re stepping into the mindset of both malware analysts and defenders. It’s like going behind the scenes of your favorite security software. 🔐💥
