  1. Go to Security Fabric > External Connectors and click Create New.
  2. In the Threat Feeds section, click Malware Hash.
  3. Set Name to AWS_Malware_Hash.
  4. Set the URI of external resource to https://s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/malware-hash-feeds/fortinet-malware-hash-list.

  5. Click OK.
  6. Edit the connector, then click View Entries to view the hash list.

  7. Go to Security Profiles > AntiVirus and create a new profile, or edit an existing one.
  8. Enable Use External Malware Block List.
  9. Click Apply.
To configure a malware hash connector in the CLI:
config system external-resource
    edit "AWS_Malware_Hash"
        set type malware
        set resource "https://s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/malware-hash-feeds/fortinet-malware-hash-list"
    next
end
config antivirus profile
    edit "av-profile"
        config outbreak-prevention
            set external-blocklist enable
        end
    next
end

Logs

The filehash and filehashsrc are included in outbreak prevention detection event logs.

This example shows the log generated when a file is detected by external malware hash list outbreak prevention:
