The Submissions screen, in Virtual Analyzer > Submissions, includes a list of samples processed by Virtual Analyzer. Samples are files and URLs submitted automatically by integrated products, through email messages from permitted sender domains and SMTP servers, or manually by Deep Discovery Analyzer administrators or investigators.

The Submissions screen organizes samples into the following tabs:

  • Completed: Samples that Virtual Analyzer has analyzed

  • Processing: Samples that Virtual Analyzer is currently analyzing

  • Queued: Samples that are pending analysis

  • Unsuccessful: Samples that have gone through the analysis process but do not have analysis results due to errors

    Note:

    Samples listed on the Unsuccessful tab are not included in the sample count displayed on a widget.

  • ICAP Pre-scan: High-risk samples received from integrated ICAP clients.

    Note:

    The ICAP Pre-scan tab displays when you enable ICAP integration on the Administration > > Integrated Products/Services > ICAP screen.

Each tab displays a table summarizing basic information about the submitted samples. To customize which columns appear in the table, click the gear icon (), select the columns to be displayed in the table, and click Apply.

To update the data displayed in the table, click Refresh.

The following table outlines all available columns. Column display varies depending on the tab you select.

Analysis Information

Risk Level

Virtual Analyzer performs static analysis and behavior simulation to identify a sample's characteristics. During analysis, Virtual Analyzer rates the characteristics in context and then assigns a risk level to the sample based on the accumulated ratings.

  • Red icon (): High risk. The object exhibited highly suspicious characteristics that are commonly associated with malware.

    Examples:

    • Malware signatures; known exploit code

    • Disabling of security software agents

    • Connection to malicious network destinations

    • Self-replication; infection of other files

    • Dropping or downloading of executable files by documents

  • Yellow icon (): Low risk. The object exhibited mildly suspicious characteristics that are most likely benign.

  • Green icon (): No risk. The object did not exhibit suspicious characteristics.

  • Gray icon (): Not analyzed

    For possible reasons why Virtual Analyzer did not analyze a file, see Possible Reasons for Analysis Failure.

Note:

If several instances processed a sample, the icon for the most severe risk level displays. For example, if the risk level on one instance is yellow and then red on another, the red icon displays. Mouseover the icon for details about the risk level.

This column is available on the Completed tab only.

Completed

Date and time that sample analysis was completed

This column is available on the Completed tab only.

File Type

  • File type of the object

  • File type of the archive / File type of the highest risk child object

  • File type of the archive / File type of any child object if no risk

Note:

"Empty" or "UNKNOWN" if file size is 0 or too small to identify file type for analysis

This column is available on the Completed and ICAP Pre-scan tabs only.

Threat

This column is available on the Completed and ICAP Pre-scan tabs only.

Note:

For the ICAP Pre-scan tab, if the threat name is not available (e.g. the Web Inspection Service doesn't provide a threat name for a URL), "Undefined threat" is displayed.
