SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MALWARE NULLIFICATION

摘要

Generally discussed herein are systems, devices, and methods for malware nullification. A system can include a detect module to identify a file type of an attachment of the email, compare the identified file type to a list of unsafe file types, and in response to determining the identified file type is on the list of unsafe file types, remove the attachment from the email and forward the attachment to a database, a file converter module to receive the attachment from the detect module and convert the file to a safe file type so as to nullify malware in the attachment, an insert module to receive the file with the safe file type and replace the attachment of the email with the file with the safe file type, and a mail transfer agent to forward the email with the file with the safe file type to the client.

1. A system for malware nullification, the system comprising:
a mail transfer agent communicatively coupled between a client and the internet, the mail transfer agent to transfer email to a client; a detect module comprising processing circuitry communicatively coupled to the mail transfer agent, the detect module to identify a file type of an attachment of the email, compare the identified file type to a list of unsafe file types, and in response to determining the identified file type is on the list of unsafe file types, remove the attachment from the email and forward the attachment to a database; a file converter module comprising processing circuitry communicatively coupled to the detect module, the file converter module to receive the attachment from the detect module and convert the file to a safe file type so as to nullify malware in the attachment, the safe file type including a same or different file type; an insert module comprising processing circuitry communicatively coupled to the file converter module, the insert module to receive the file with the safe file type and replace the attachment of the email with the file with the safe file type; and wherein the mail transfer agent is further to forward the email with the file with the safe file type as an attachment to the email to the client.
