Batch File Analysis
To use this feature, be sure to download
and install the latest PAN-OS content release. PAN-OS Applications
and Threats content release 8168 enables firewalls operating PAN-OS
8.1 and later to forward script files to the WildFire cloud for
analysis. For more information about the update, refer to the Applications
and Threat Content Release Notes.
To download the release
notes, log in to the Palo Alto Networks Support Portal, click
Dynamic
Updates
and select the release notes listed under Apps
+ Threats.
Script sample support has
been expanded to include .bat (batch) files. As with all other currently
supported script file types (JScript [.js], VBScript [.vbs], and
PowerShell Script [.ps1], the WildFire public cloud can now analyze
and classify batch files with verdicts using static and dynamic analysis.
When a malicious batch file is discovered, the WildFire cloud generates
and distributes C2 and DNS signatures to firewalls to prevent successful attacks.
To ensure that you are protected from the latest threats, always
keep your firewalls up-to-date with the latest content and software
updates from Palo Alto Networks.
- The WildFire appliance does not support batch file analysis at this time.
- Only firewalls operating PAN-OS 8.1 and later can forward scripts to the WildFire public cloud.
To
forward script files for analysis, the
WildFire Analysis
Profile
on the firewall must be configured to forward
the script

You can submit
script files directly to the WildFire public cloud for analysis
from the WildFire portal as well as the WildFire API:
- Manually submit script files to the WildFire public cloud for analysis. You can then view the WildFire sample analysis report and verdict (malicious, grayware or benign) on the WildFire portal.
- Use the WildFire API to submit files to the WildFire public cloud. You can use the WildFire API to retrieve verdicts and analysis reports for the files. You can also specify script as the target analysis environment when you retrieve a packet capture through the WildFire API.
