Configuring the timeout for image password extraction using the CLI

Prev Next

Use the command in this section to configure the timeout for image password extraction. The image password extraction timeout (OCR timeout) cannot exceed the maximum timeout set for the overall password extraction process (Max timeout).

Max timeout applies to the entire password analysis and extraction process and includes:

  • Scanning the files attached to a single email

  • Extracting any passwords embedded as text directly in the attached files

  • Extracting any passwords embedded as text in files embedded within the attached files (if embedded analysis is enabled)

  • Scanning the email body and extracting any text passwords from the email body

  • Scanning any images within file attachments and extracting any passwords

  • Scanning any images within files embedded in files and extracting any passwords (if embedded analysis is enabled)

OCR timeout applies to just the image analysis and password extraction steps in the process:

  • Scanning any images within file attachments and extracting any passwords

  • Scanning any images within files embedded in files and extracting any passwords (if embedded analysis is enabled)

Note

You can configure the timeout for image password extraction using the CLI only.
