Hello guys,
Can you please advise how we can restrict access to file types such are .vbs and .msi?
These types are not available in the File block list.
Kind Regards,
John

John,
We just added MSI to this weeks content release. You should see it
show up if you upgrade to content update 150. We don't currently have
support for VBS files but we can take a look at adding support for
them in a future content release.

Thanks for the quick reply, I've just updated and added .msi to the block list.
Would it be possible to investigate if the following file types can be blocked?
.ade
.adp
.bas
.com
.cmd
.cpl
.lnk
.htr
.msh
.wsh
.wsf
.vbe
.vb
.shs
.scf
.scr
.msp
.mst
.isp
Many thanks,
John

I'd like to add .xap files. Silverlight uses these.

Charles,
Thanks for the suggestion. Can you tell me how controlling xap files differs from controlling silverlight as an application via App-ID?

Hi Alfred,
I have noticed the file transfer blocking doesn’t work as expected. If a rule is in place blocking any file transfer using gmail or any other web-mail (Gmail not GTALK file transfer), it doesn’t work for file-types apart from the once mentioned in the list e.g. .TXT, .PCAP etc. If I select "ANY" as an option, that should block any attachments irrespective of the file-type or the extension. Even if PAN NGFW manages to block it, using a classic uploader option on gmail, the file goes right through. This is just a matter of checking a check-box on the settings page of the Gmail account, which an end user can easily do. I have tried the same with multiple web mails, attachment blocking doesn’t work for non listed file types, when the file type is selected as “ANY” in the file blocking profile.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Regards,

Hi Sumukh,
As I told you, any means any of the below file types. It is a bit misleading.

Enclosed is a custom appID to detect for .jpg images. The signature is looking for the end of the URI path and matching on the string ‘\.jpg HTTP’ without the quote. This will work for web-browsing apps only, and a typical web request would look like this:
GET .../images/twitter_corp.jpg HTTP/1.1\r\n
GET .../pictures/logo.jpg HTTP/1.1\r\n
You can import this appID into the PAN device under Objects ==> Application. Once verified, you can clone the app and change the app signature to match other file types like .scr, .pif, etc.

Are you decrypting the Gmail session so that the PA unit can actually see the upload?

Hi,
Is there any update on blocking the below list of file types please?
Thanks,
Kate.

Kate
this is a pretty long list, are you looking for a specific filetype ?
08-11-2017 05:07 AM
Hi @KateAdetola,
To see the current list of supported file types you can search the 'File Type' column in the File Blocking Profile. You'll see that the list has grown considerably :
Alternatively you can check out the following article :

Hi,
Yes I am specifically after .msp file types, as we woild like to block end users from downloading and installing .msp files. This is not on the list of supported files currently.
Thanks,
Kate.

Thanks for this update Kiwi; however .msp is not on the list. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Kate.

If it is binary file you might try hex editor to get binary signature from beginning of file and create your own vulnerability signature.
