File Blocking Type.

sahithyan.subbu — Mon, 13 Apr 2020 09:50:30 GMT

Hi team,

I want to block .pst .dat .csr files.

I know the PA FW works on file types rather than file extension, but i want to know .pst and .dat and .csr are which file types ?

File extensions don't determine the file type.

File types are determined by mime type, heuristics and possibly other magic ^_^

Changing the extension is far too easy to evade.

There is a feature request for this so you can reach out to your local SE and have your vote added.

Cheers,
