Which statement is correct if a user is unable to receive a block replacement message when downloading an infected file for the first time?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: CD

If the user is unable to receive a block replacement message when downloading an infected file for the first time, it is because the flow-based inspection is being used. In flow-based inspection mode, the FortiGate resets the last packet to the user, which terminates the connection but does not send a block replacement message. This behavior prevents the infected file from being completely downloaded, ensuring it cannot be opened, but does not display an instant block message for the first attempt.

D its OK. FG-SG-6.4-P479. • "ONLY" If the virus is detected at the "START" of the connection, the IPS engine sends the block replacement message immediately • When a virus is detected on a TCP session (FIRST TIME), but where "SOME PACKETS" have been already forwarded to the receiver, FortiGate "resets the connection" and does not send the last piece of the file. Although the receiver got most of the file content, the file has been truncated and therefore, can’t be opened. The IPS engine also caches the URL of the infected file, so that if a "SECOND ATTEMPT" to transmit the file is made, the IPS engine will then send a block replacement message to the client instead of scanning the file again.

D is correct. In flow mode, the FortiGate drops the last packet killing the file. But because of that the block replacement message cannot be displayed. If the file is attempted to download again the block message will be shown.

You get a block replacement after last packet is dropped, connection is reset, and identical request is made. Fortigate security 7.0 pg 485

D. The flow-based inspection is used, which resets the last packet to the user
