EICAR and the smallest webserver in the world.

I just was made aware that my colleague blogger Didier Stevens created a very small webserver including our EICAR-test file.
You can find and watch what he did at

I must say that this is the weirdest thing I've seen which have been done with the EICAR-test file. Nice isn't it!

If you want more info about the EICAR-test file you can go to the EICAR website.
The file is used to find out if your anti-virus or anti-spyware program is working without having to use a real virus or malware.
