Keeping your computer safe from malicious applications and malware can feel overwhelming, but with the IOC Hash Scanning feature, the process is straightforward and effective. Here’s how this powerful tool helps safeguard your system.
What is IOC Hash Scanning?
- IOC Hash Scanning enables users to block harmful applications or malware by adding known hash signatures (MD5, SHA1, SHA256) to a database. This allows for real-time detection and action against threats hidden on your PC.
How It Works
- To use this feature, simply create a text file containing the hash values of the threats you want to block Hashes.
- Once imported, the system performs a thorough scan across default file types executable file. If a match is found, the tool takes action based on your chosen settings.
Customizing Your Protection
- IOC Hash Scanning gives users full control over how threats are handled. You can choose from the following actions:
- Audit: Log detections for review.
- Rename: Change the file name to prevent execution.
- Delete: Remove the threat entirely.
Additionally, users can specify additional file extensions beyond`.exe`,`.dll` and `.sys`, ensuring a wider scan for potential risks. If certain folders should be excluded, a path exclusion option is available to refine scanning further.
Track the Actions Taken
- Transparency is key. That’s why IOC Hash Scanning provides detailed reports specifying actions taken on files. Whether auditing, renaming, or deleting threats, users can easily monitor system activity and review past security events.
Why This Matters
- Malware is constantly evolving, and traditional security solutions may not catch every threat. IOC Hash Scanning gives users a proactive defense tool, allowing them to stay ahead by blocking known malicious signatures efficiently.
- This feature ensures that your system remains secure, without the guesswork or manual investigations. Whether you’re an IT professional or just someone looking for an extra layer of security, IOC Hash Scanning simplifies threat management.
