-To help protect the computer, mailand web filters in most cases do not allow you to receive files of certain types (such as .exe files) as attachments or within a download, because of their potential for introducing a virus into the computer. Certain mail clients (like Outlook) also blocks these files by default. So called Level 1 files (like exe, bat, vbs etc.) cannot be send in plain form. Otherwise they will get filtered. LUCY allows the administrator to archive those files (like .zp or rar files). But also just placing them in an archive is not sufficient in most cases. Therefore we also offer the administrator in LUCY > 3.1 to set a password for the archive. This makes it impossible for any filter to analyze the content. If encrypted files are not rejected on a gateway level, this offers the LUCY admin to ensure that the file based simulations can be downloaded or attached in the simulation.+To help protect the computer, mail and web filters in most cases do not allow you to receive files of certain types (such as .exe files) as attachments or within a download, because of their potential for introducing a virus into the computer.

-Our malware simulations are non malicious and are intended only for educational use. We can ensure that they are non-persistent (run only in memory) and free of any malicious code. On request we also allow clients to access the source code for each malware simulation. Still we noticed in the past that AV vendors or content filter added virus signatures for certain file based simulations from LUCY. We are working together with those vendors to remove them from their signature lists. But we cannot guarantee that we cover all products. Therefore we kindly ask our clients to report us if our malware simulations are getting filtered (send us a mail with the vendors signature ID to info@lucysecurity.com). +Our malware simulations are non-malicious and are intended only for educational use.
