Hello everyone,

If I have the valid WF license and I enable the forwarding the RAR & JAR type.

What the WF does when RAR & JAR file is being received?

Does it analysis thoe files located in a JAR or RAR archive?

Just wanna know.

Thanks

Yes, RAR and 7-Zip archive files are not decoded by the firewall. All processing of these files occurs in the WildFire public cloud:

Note that you can also manually upload files (upto 100MB) for analysis on the WildFire portal:
