Still no extension blocking within zip files?

JoergRiether
I hope i am wrong,, I really do, but could it be true that in 2015 UTM still can not check for blocked extensions (no i am not talking about mime types i am talking about stupid simple extensions like .js) inside zip archives? This was announced for 9.300. Seems to me the announcement was wrong and only covers mime types. PLEASE tell me i am wrong. Best, Joerg

  • Unfortunately this is still the case, files within archives (e.g. zip files) will not be scanned for blocked file types or blocked extensions.

    Instead you would need to use MIME types to block inside archive files. Once this is enabled you would also need to enable 'MIME Blocking Inspects HTTP Body' under Web Protection > Filtering Options > Misc.

    Emily,

    thanks for the answer. Albeit is does not help at all. The bad guys will not follow your "standards" i guess.

    This has to be taken care of NOW! It is an impossible situation that the UTM still can´t handle such basic tasks.

    Best,
    Joerg
