Nested file download

The threat

Attackers bury payloads inside archives, disk images, and Office files so the complete object appears only after unpacking.

How the test works

Choose a nesting pattern. Each sample hides the same test payload inside multiple container layers.

Try it yourself
Test pass condition

The gateway unpacks the layers and blocks the payload.

Test fail condition

The nested file downloads without being flagged.
