ConfigServer eXploit Scanner (CXS) is a tool that actively scans for malware, viruses, and exploits on your server’s filesystem. It works by monitoring file uploads via web, FTP, and email, scanning them for malicious content in real-time.

If a malicious file is detected, CXS can be configured to quarantine it, preventing the file from being executed. The tool also includes an on-demand scanning feature, which allows you to run a full scan of the filesystem. CXS is designed to be used with a perimeter firewall and a Web Application Firewall (WAF) as part of a layered security approach.
