Can someone please help me with this? I’m attempting to follow the below guide on installing LMD (Linux Malware Detect) on CentOS.

https://www.tecmint.com/install-linux-malware-detect-lmd-in-rhel-centos-and-fedora/

The issue that I am having is that whenever I attempt to use "wget" on the specified link to LMD, it always pulls an HTML file instead of a .gz file.

Troubleshooting: I’ve attempted HTTPS instead of HTTP, but that results in an "unable to establish SSL connection" error message (see below). I’ve already looked around the internet for other guides on installing LMD on Cent and every one of them advised to "wget" the .gz at the below link. I’m hoping that someone can help me to work through this.

If you need further information from me, please let me know. Thank you.

Best,

    It was my ISP. They had router-based software preventing Linux extra-network commands from getting past the gateway.


  2. You replace in command http with https. Try wget as it is mentioned in the manual:

    wget http://www.rfxn.com/downloads/maldetect-current.tar.gz
    

    Here is what I get with --spider option:

    # wget --spider http://www.rfxn.com/downloads/maldetect-current.tar.gz
    Spider mode enabled. Check if remote file exists.

    This is interesting, you requested asset from http://www.rfxn.com but was redirected finally to https://block.charter-prod.hosted.cujo.io which seems to page with text like

    Let’s stop for a moment

    I am unable to fathom why exactly this happend, but this probably something to do with your network, as I run wget --spider and it did detect (1,5M) [application/x-gzip].
