Mar 05, 2016How does the ASM deal with devious file types
Hi
For file types that pretend to be what they not really are. for example an exe pretending to be a gif, how does the ASM deal with this violation?
Kindly

Mar 08, 2016ASM verifies MIME types. So simply changing a file extension from .exe to .gif will not defeat true file type detection. The same concept applies to allowing or disallowing file uploads.
