Support for WildFire Sample Removal Requests | Users who submit unique samples
to the WildFire cloud for analysis can issue a request for removal.
Sample data includes session / upload data and the sample file itself.
Samples that have been successfully removed from the WildFire cloud
are now also removed from AutoFocus. The AutoFocus cloud
service does not retain sample files; as a result, only session
data is deleted when a request for sample removal is completed in
WildFire. Remnant sample meta data will continue to be available
in searches. |
Support for Samples that have Undergone Dynamic Unpacking | AutoFocus™ now allows you to leverage analysis
data from files that have undergone WildFire® analysis using dynamic
unpacking. Dynamic unpacking is a cloud-only environment that unpacks
and deobfuscates files that have been encoded using custom and open source
file compression or packing tools. This provides improved coverage
by analyzing files that might have previously dropped as a result
of code obfuscation. The nested analysis report section has
tabs for the environments used to analyze a file. Selecting the Dynamic
Unpacking tab displays the sample’s observed behavior
and lists each activity the sample performed when executed in the
WildFire cloud.
