Scan Mechanisms
Scan for viruses - using scan engines
Signature based
File filtering - block specific attachments
File name or content based
Scan inside "containers" (zip, rar, doc, etc)
Max 5 levels deep

Transport scanningTry to minimize effect on Message StoreDo not scan if scanned already - AV-stamp
Inbound: at Edge role (not at Mailbox role)Outbound: at Hub role (not at Mailbox role)Internal: at Hub role (not at Mailbox role)
AV-stampAntivirus header stamp is written to each email as it is first scanned(at Edge or Hub role)
X-MS-Exchange-Organization-AVStamp-Mailbox: MSFTFF;1;0;0 0 0
Checked by later scanning operations (at Hub or Store role)If found - mail is not re-scanned
When mail is saved in the Store, antivirus stamp properties are savedas a MAPI property
The header is stripped from the email
Scanning at Transport
16
A Quick Look At Transport ScanningHow It Works
Inbound mail
Scanned at the Edge or Hub role (whichever comes first)
Outbound mail
Scanned at the first Hub role
Internal Mail
Scanned at the first Hub role (not in the Store)
Mail in Sent Items is not scanned

Store scanningProactive scanning - off by default
Scan on message submission to the storeOn-access scanning - on by default
Scan when a message is accessed or viewedBut do not scan if scanned before (looks at AV-stamp)
Useful for: Outbox, Sent-Items, Public Folders
Background Scan - off by defaultRuns once a dayScan only message less than x days old (ignores AV-stamp)
Manual Scan - off by default Runs on a set schedule or on demand (ignores AV-stamp)
Quick Scan - off by default Easy way to run one-time manual scan (ignores AV-stamp)
Scanning at Store
21
Automatic ScanningBehavior Changes
Scanning behavior changes in Exchange 2007User Action Proactive Scanning on
(Exchange 2000/2003 default)
Proactive Scanning off (Exchange 2007 default)
1. User attaches an infected file to an email and sends email.
Virus is detected in the Outbox by the Realtime Scan Job and deleted.
Virus is detected in the Outbound mail queue by the Transport Scan Job and deleted.
2. User checks Sent Items folder.
Virus is already deleted, detected in the Outbox by the Realtime Scan Job.
Mail is scanned by On Access scanning (Realtime Scan Job) and virus deleted.
Each scan job has separate settings, so scan behavior may vary in Exchange 2007
22
"Outbreak mode"
Warning: do not use, except with major outbreak
Scan on Scanner Update setting
Invalidates AV-stamp after each engine update
Result:Enables proactive (submission) scanning
Scans each incoming message at store,even if just scanned on transport
Scans each mail on access, if engine has been updated
Conclusion:Significant increase in amount of store scanning,but always scanned with latest engines
23
File Filtering
Block file attachments, based on name (or content)
Extension - file name or file content*.exe, *.vbs, etc

Job – Signature Distribution
A primary task for the FSSMC
The FSSMC server serves as the central download agent for all scan engines and updates
They are then distributed proactively to the Forefront and Antigen servers
Engine updates are delivered to all servers. You cannot choose among them.
Select the Update Schedule and choose the engines to download

Redundancy Signature Distribution
The Backup server connects to Internet and retrieves the Forefront (FF) engine manifest file
The Primary Server connects to the Internet and retrieves signature updates
Primary notifies all FF clients that updates are available
The Backup Server connects to Primary and compares file manifest to files available on Primary
If files are newer, Backup copies them
If Primary is out of date, Backup downloads from the Internet
Backup notifies client machines that it also has signature updates
Clients will pull signatures from Backup if they are more up to date

Reporting – Out-of-date engine and signature version reportProblem: Security Admins want to be kept up to date of whether their systems are up-to-date. Out-of-date signatures and engines should be identified.
Solution: FSSMC makes it possible to view the signature and engine version on each managed server. It does not matter whether the server is updated by FSSMC or not.
43
Alert Management
Example:
An alert can be sent when no virus activity is seen for a specified period of time
A lack of virus detections can indicate a scanning failure
Possible scan job crash
Possibly misconfigured server

Forefront Security for SharePoint
46
How Do Viruses Get to SharePoint?
Today, viruses arrive primarily by accident – not design
User uploads document with embedded payloadPossibly malicious user activity
Risks in an extranet deployment
User maps a network drive to \\server\sites\teamsiteIf a user is infected by a virus that attempts to propagate to network shares, then the virus can propagate to SharePoint sites
SQL Document Library SharePoint Portal Server Users
47
Why SharePoint Antivirus?
File Server AV does not provide the level of protection needed to prevent SharePoint-related infections
Desktop AV is not enough to solve the problem
Desktop AV may detect infection within the cached copy, but cannot clean the stored copy in the document library
Forefront Security for SharePoint cleans the document in the library, ensuring all posted and downloaded documents are safe
Signature distribution is often slow and problematic, and never contains five scanning engines
48
Forefront Antivirus Scanning
Forefront provides two types of scan jobs:
Realtime Scan Job – Scans any files being uploaded to or downloaded from SharePoint
Works with web browser or any other application accessing SharePointProvides proactive protection
Manual Scan Job – Scans all or part of SharePoint document library on demand
Scans can be scheduledCan be used to scan with engines different than Realtime scan job
49
Forefront Realtime Scan Job
Realtime scanning always uses the VSAPI
Basic Realtime scan settings are centrally configured through the SharePoint interface, not the Forefront console
Click here to change settings
Then click Then click “Operations,“Operations,” followed by ” followed by “Antivirus”“Antivirus”
50
Virus - user experience
51
Realtime Scan Virus Detection Actions
When Forefront detects a virus, several Actions are available:
Skip: detect only – Logs presence of virus, but does not block or delete it
Not a secure setting!
Can be used for testing/evaluation purposes
Clean: repair document – Attempts to clean the file. If file cannot be cleaned, it is blocked
Delete: block document – GOOD CHOICE !!
52
Realtime Virus Deletion Text
When a file is deleted because it contains a virus, Forefront replaces it with a text file
File keeps name, but gets a .txt extensionDeletion text is only used in Realtime scanning when replacing files within a ZIP file
The text file contains a configurable “Deletion Text” that can include system information
By default, the deletion text reads:
53
Forefront Manual Scan Job
Manual Scan provides tree-view into document library
All or part of the library can be set for scanning by using check boxes
Settings will not include new sites by default unless the top box is checked
Use Quick Scan to scan a particular part of the library
54
File Filtering – Forefront vs. SharePoint
SharePoint also supports file blocking, but performs only file extension checking
Will not catch a file if extension is changed to a an approved file extension
If SharePoint and Forefront rules overlap, SharePoint rule is applied first
SharePoint file scanning requires less overhead and should be used in conjunction with ForefrontBlock the same list of files in both places
Skip: detect mode can be used to inventory the library or understand real-time file storage patterns
55
Large File Support
Large file support has been added to the VSAPI in SharePoint 2007The VSAPI hook can load and transfer pieces of the file on demandForefront requests file data in chunksMaximum file size that can be scanned is 2GBIf the file is larger than 2GB, then the ForefrontService will return a value of MSOVSI_STATUS_INFECTEDThe Virus Information string will note “Exceeded File Size”
56
The SharePoint process (AVM) reads and writes to the DB
AV engines do not have to interact with DB
VSE returns results and the AVM takes action, e.g. block, clean, etc.
