Malware File Transfer (HTTP)
The plugin transfers selected PTI files over HTTP/HTTPS to test antivirus gateways, NGFW, IDS/IPS, and related security controls. Both client and server sides are available for two-arm operation. Before starting a task, import the package into the library and synchronize the agents; see the library section and Settings.
