What is the Wildfire analysis file size limit for Windows PE files?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The Wildfire analysis file size limit for Windows PE files is 100MB. Windows PE files are executable files that run on the Windows operating system, such as .exe, .dll, .sys, or .scr files. Wildfire is a cloud-based service that analyzes files and URLs for malicious behavior and generates signatures and protections for them. Wildfire can analyze various file types, such as PE, APK, PDF, MS Office, and others, but each file type has a different file size limit. The file size limit determines the maximum size of the file that can be uploaded or forwarded to Wildfire for analysis. If the file size exceeds the limit, Wildfire will not analyze the file and will return an error message.

According to the Wildfire documentation1, the file size limit for Windows PE files is 100MB. This means that any PE file that is larger than 100MB will not be analyzed by Wildfire. However, the firewall can still apply other security features, such as antivirus, anti-spyware, vulnerability protection, and file blocking, to the PE file based on the security policy settings.The firewall can also perform local analysis on the PE file using the Cortex XDR agent, which uses machine learning models to assess the file and assign it a verdict2.


WildFire File Size Limits: This document provides the file size limits for different file types that can be analyzed by Wildfire.

Local Analysis: This document explains how the Cortex XDR agent performs local analysis on files that cannot be sent to Wildfire for analysis.

I'll go with option D, 1GB, for my answer then.

Well, I guess it's possible that the limit is 1GB. It would make sense for larger files.

Wait, there's a limit? I thought Wildfire was just like a black box that could handle any file size. This is news to me. *scratches head* Alright, I'll go with C - 100MB, just to be safe.

I'm going with option D - 1GB. Why would they limit it to 500MB? That's way too small these days. My money's on a full gig being the max for Wildfire analysis on Windows PE.

I'm leaning towards option B - 500MB. That seems like a reasonable limit for analysis files, especially for Windows PE format. But I could be wrong, these Wildfire things can be a bit finicky.

Hmm, this question seems a bit tricky. I'm not sure if there's really a limit on the Wildfire analysis file size for Windows PE files. Maybe it's just whatever the system can handle?
