Kerio and Open Source

Open source development is a key part of Kerio's software strategy. You may notice a number of third-party software components in our products. By using open source, we are constantly evolving our development techniques, and discovering new code which may later appear in our products. The open source community shares with Kerio, and in return we are able ot help it grow.

API and SDK

We believe that openness really matters! Beginning with supporting a number of platforms and protocols, and allowing you to run them with various clients, devices and third-party applications, or by API and SDK end.

Participation

Kerio actively participates in a number of open source projects, including Asterisk, Bugzilla, CMake, NetFilter for Windows, PHP, Suricata.

In addition to our open source activities we have opened an account at Github, a well-known social coding platform. You can find us under Github.com/Kerio. Join us, fork us or simply use us. Additionally, you can download the SDK from Github.com/Kerio, and follow the instructions there. Use C or C++ to write your plugin, i.e. the code that actually calls the antivirus to scan files. You may distribute your plugin without any royalties.


Antivirus SDK for Kerio Products

The SDK includes a public API that can be used to write plugins for third-party antivirus solutions, together with sample plugin source code, ClamAV® plugin source code, and testing binaries. Linux is the supported platform, both for development and as the deployment target.

If you want to start using the plugin now and skip compilation, we have prepared the Linux plugin in binary form directly for download. Do not worry if you use Windows. Our community took care of it and created the necessary DLL file.
