File Blocking Type.

L3 Networker

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 ?

 

 

Thanks & Regards,
Sahithyan S

Hi @sahithyan.subbu ,

 

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,

-Kiwi.
