Dazuko project provides a device driver for Linux allowing 3rd-party (userland) applications to execute file access control. It was originally developed by Avira GmbH (formerly known as H+BEDV Datentechnik GmbH) to allow on-access virus scanning. Other uses include a file-access monitor/logger or external security implementations. It operates by intercepting file access calls and passing the file information to a 3rd-party application. The 3rd-party application then has the opportunity to tell the device driver to allow or deny the file access. The 3rd-party application also receives information about the access event, such as accessed file, type of access, process id, and user id.
