When you access a web page, it often contains several embedded file such as PDF, JPG, GIF and other file types. During malware analysis, Intelligent Virtual Execution - Server scans each file type present on the page. To improve performance, you can now exclude these file types from scanning using the CLI commands. This allows the IVX Server to focus only on critical file types, improving overall efficiency.
CLI commands to exclude the file type from scanning
no icap-service file-type and press Tab: Lists all available file types that you can exclude from scanning.
show icap-service file-type: Displays all file types for which scanning is already disabled or the file types that are already excluded.
no icap-service file-type <file-type>: Adds a specific file type to the exclusion list.
For example, to exclude the PDF file type from scanning, execute the following command:
no icap-service file-type PDF
icap-service file-type <file-type>: Manually start scanning a specific file type that was previously added to the bypass list.
