Issue/Introduction
You want to extract and scan content from 7-Zip and winRAR file types.
Resolution
DLP detection server can extract:
- 7-Zip file types, if the compression algorithm used is LZMA. (Note that: LMZA2 will not extract)
- WinRAR files, if the compression algorithm used is RAR4. If archived with plain RAR it will not extract
- It makes no difference if 7zip or WinRar are installed on the detection server or not
These restrictions do not apply to DLP 15.0 and later.
