Add Executable or Edit Executable

You can configure an executable associated with a rule or group.

Firewall treats all files and folder names in rules as case insensitive. For example, if a Firewall rule specifies to block C:\Temp\FTP.exe, Firewall also blocks C:\temp\ftp.exe and c:\TEMP\FTP.EXE.

Options
Option	Definition
Name	Specifies the name that you call the executable. This field is required with at least one other field: File name or path, File description, MD5 hash, or signer.
File name or path	Specifies the file name or path of the executable to add or edit. Click Browse to select the executable. The file name or path can include wildcards.
File description	Indicates the description of the file. This field is used to verify an application's file description inside the executable itself. To view the file description for an executable, right-click the executable, select Properties, then click the Details tab to see the Description information. Note File description is not a comment field. To add comments to an executable, use the Notes field.
MD5 hash	Indicates the MD5 hash (32-digit hexadecimal number) of the process.
Signer	Enable digital signature check — Guarantees that code hasn't been changed or corrupted since it was signed with cryptographic hash. If enabled, specify: Allow any signature — Allows files signed by any process signer. Signed by — Allows only files signed by the specified process signer. A signer distinguished name (SDN) for the executable is required and it must match exactly the entries in the accompanying field, including commas and spaces. The process signer appears in the correct format in the events in the log files. For example: `C=US, ST=WASHINGTON, L=REDMOND, O=MICROSOFT CORPORATION, OU=MOPR, CN=MICROSOFT WINDOWS` Note You can enter `S` for the state or ProvinceName object identifier, but the element automatically appears as `ST` in the log files.
Notes	Provides more information about the item.
