Adding MD5 hash exclusions

Prev Next

You can add a list of MD5 hashes to exclude from Exploit Guard processing using the Web UI or the API.

Important

The Endpoint Security (HX) server does not validate the MD5 hash entries included in your Exploit Guard exclusion list. You must confirm your MD5 hash exclusions are represented by 32 hexadecimal digits.

To add MD5 hash exclusions for all host endpoints:

  1. Log in to the Web UI as an administrator.

  2. From the Admin menu, select Policies to access the Policies page.

  3. In the Policies table, click the Agent Default Policy link to access the Edit Policy page.

  4. Select the Exploit Guard Protection tab.

  5. In the Policy Exclusions section, specify the MD5 hash you want to exclude from Exploit Guard processing in the field under the Exclude MD5 hashes from Exploit Guard.

  6. Click Add to add the MD5 hash to the list.

    Important

    The Endpoint Security (HX) server and the xAgent do not validate the correct entry of the MD5 hashes included in your exclusion list. Confirm that your MD5 hash exclusions are represented by 32 hexadecimal digits.

  7. Repeat Steps 5 and 6 until you have added all of the MD5 hash exclusions you want to the list.

  8. Click Save.

To add MD5 hash exclusions for selected host sets:
