added Download-Blocker
Description: Serving as a proactive defense mechanism, the Malicious Download Blocker acts as a shield against potential threats lurking within downloaded files. Employing sophisticated algorithms and metadata analysis, it swiftly identifies and intercepts suspicious downloads, thereby mitigating the risks associated with malware, phishing, and HTML smuggling attacks.
Implementation:
The setup involves defining detection parameters based on data and metadata properties to identify potentially malicious downloads, including banned file extensions, URL schemes, and filename regex patterns. Rule configuration is then established to outline actions for different scenarios, such as blocking downloads from local sources or those containing encrypted files within zip archives. Integration with a Native Messaging Host is implemented to overcome limitations in file metadata retrieval, ensuring accurate inspection of downloaded files regardless of origin or content. Additionally, alert configuration is established for SIEM integration, enabling real-time monitoring and response to blocked downloads. Finally, the extension with enforced policies is deployed to users' browsers to effectively safeguard against HTML smuggling and other threats.
