Host Connector is an open-source utility written in Go designed to monitor directories and identify malicious files across IT infrastructures. It communicates with an external malware detection API to analyze newly deposited, modified, or existing files on local storage, network drives, and synchronized cloud directories.
The utility supports both continuous real-time monitoring and manual scanning operations. Upon completing an analysis, it executes automated remediation actions such as deleting the file, isolating it in an encrypted quarantine folder, or routing safe files to a separate designated directory. It is configurable via command-line parameters or a JSON file and can be deployed in standard server environments or CI/CD pipelines.
