Blocked Hashes

Blocked hashes contain a list of executables/hashes blocked by all security products connected to ESET Inspect. You can add blocked hashes from executables or executables detail, or type manually from any other source.

Hashes support only SHA-1. It enables companies to remediate any malicious code (prevent its execution ex-post, or even proactively, getting the hashes in an IoC feed).

Whenever an attempt to execute a blocked executable occurs, it is reported as a security incident to ESET PROTECT On-Prem and listed under a specific threats section category - blocked files.

The Blocked hashes enable you to interact with the list of hashes. It enables blocking hashes from external tools as well.
