I think the kind of approach Kurt has suggested can only realistically work in corporate and institutional environments (and with the occasional well-disciplned individual), where it would also be realtively easy to further restrict the odds of sustaining damage via this entry route by only allowing designated users to receive such content. Further restrictions, such as "it must have the '.ABC' extension and internally be a RAR archive" could easily be added for
this would not greatly add to security but it would be addeded layer. all the archives have a magic header that will allow them to be scanned and identified, this is how it works on unix. maybe some thing of that sort is required.... even then how would it solve the prob of encrypted attachments. most archirve formats have an options where the file names are visible but some like rar have a option to encrypt file name also ie you cannot see the names of the files in the archive untill you have the password.. -aditya ________________________________________________________________________ Delivered using the Free Personal Edition of Mailtraq (www.mailtraq.com) _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
