Question 559

Given the following snippet of a WildFire submission log, did the end user successfully download a file?

    Correct Answer: B

    The final action taken in the WildFire submission log is a reset-both action for the wildfire-virus type, indicating that the traffic for this file was reset. Additionally, the wildfire type shows that the file was deemed malicious. These reset actions typically mean that the connection was terminated to prevent the file from being successfully downloaded by the end user. Therefore, the end user did not successfully download the file.

Discussion
SRoweOption: B

Answer is B. WildFire Virus is a sub-type of the AV signatures. Data Filtering allowed the flash file but it was blocked by the AV signatures as a known WildFire Virus.

hcirOption: B

it is B. Type Wildfire tells what is the cached verdict (malicious in this case with an action of block). Type wildfire-virus tells what actually the antivirus engine did to the traffic

regnojispiOption: D

I think D because WildFire does not stop the file from being downloaded

skullomaniaOption: B

Answer is B. Wildfire-virus is a subtype used for wildfire signatures delivered using wildfire signature database, to differentiate from regular anti-virus signatures. In short, AV signatures are identified using subtype virus. Wildfire signatures are identified using subtype wildfire-virus.

I have guessed D

8f3e6caOption: D

The initial entry is UL set to allow and then file, also set to allow. It wasn't ID'd as a virus until after the file was downloaded

What's the correct answer?

jayessarreOption: A

(A) maybe but I could be wrong. "did the end user successfully downloaded file?" - technically YES. "It takes about 10 to 15 minutes to download the signature by WF dynamic update, no signature, no blocking" - per screenshot, primarily action is set to "allow". If no other means was used for mitigating this, then yes, the file was downloaded then probably mitigated later after WF sends its update
