Scanning content zip Files

Hi Florian and welcome to the UTM Community!

Since V9.3, antivirus looks into archives, but cannot look into those that are encrypted.

Cheers - Bob

Hi Bob,

How do you enable this feature in UTM?

We just get an answer of your colluegae that it's not possible:

"You can not block an extension inside the compressed files. Either it will block all compressed files and you can allow MIME type based on whitelist or you can allow them all. The exact requirement of yours is not possible unfortunately."

Sorry german interface but here you find the setting, related to the answer of Bob:

And maybe you talk of different things. Bob said Antivirus will look into archive files. I think you want to filter MIME type based. These are different things.

Hi Alex,

Thanks!

What I want is a scan inside .zip files.

We have now a list blocked file extensions, including .zip.

I want to remove the .zip from the list but if somebody send a .exe in a .zip file that it will not go trough.

This is then the MIME type based setting? 

Best,

Florian

I can't say this for sure but I think, these rules for the mime types don't work within zip archives. Just for unzipped files, which are attached to a message.

You are correct it would be nice to look into zip. Sorry for bad news.

Best

Alex
