Which three script types can be analyzed in WildFire? (Choose three)
Full set: 139 questionsPalo Alto Networks WildFire is capable of analyzing a wide variety of file types, including multiple types of scripts commonly used in malware attacks. According to official documentation for modern PAN-OS versions, WildFire supports the analysis of JScript, PowerShell scripts, and VBScript. These script types are frequently embedded in documents or used as droppers in attacks targeting Windows environments. WildFire's dynamic analysis environment can execute these scripts to observe their behavior and determine if they are malicious.
Note: Python scripts (A) are also supported in recent PAN-OS versions. The question is flawed as it asks for three choices when four are correct. The selected answers (C, D, E) represent the most common script types associated with Microsoft Windows-based attacks.
A: This is technically a correct answer for modern PAN-OS versions, but the question requires selecting only three options. B: "MonoScript" is not a recognized or standard script type and is not listed as a supported file type for WildFire analysis.
