Abstract:
A method is provided in one example embodiment that includes identifying a file format identifier associated with a beginning of a file, parsing the file based on the file format identifier until an end of the file is identified, and calculating a hash from the beginning of the file to the end of the file. The method may also include sending the hash to a reputation system and taking a policy action based on the hash's reputation received from the reputation system.
