Dazuko is a kernel module which provides 3rd-party applications with an interface for file access control. Useful for on-demand virus scanning, as 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 kernel module to allow or deny the file-access. The 3rd-party application also receives information about the file, such as type of access, process ID, user ID, etc.
