Good Morning. I own FortiGate 90D with firmware Version v5.2.3, build 670. I have a problem I can not block DLP * .zip, because it blocks Microsoft Office files (* .xlsx, * .docx). How do I block incoming emails with .zip extension without locking office extensions 2010?

 

Thank you!

    This is a bit more difficult, since x-files such as docx, xlsx and pptx are structured zip files as well.

     

    A potential workaround is a regex like this: ^PK\x03\x04(?!.{26}\[Content_Types\]\.xml)

     

    ...which triggers the PK-ZIP magic bytes "not followed by 'any' 26 bytes +  [Content_Types].xml" - when assuming that the first file inside the MS Office documents is always "[Content_Types].xml"
