OPSWAT Fuzzy Hash Lookup

Fuzzy hashes are basically a SHA-256 of a long string that is built using a streamlined order, containing very high-level, but specific attributes of an input file. It is a proprietary algorithm and format developed by OPSWAT to enable detection of clusters of files / unknown malware. MetaDefender Sandbox (previously known as OPSWAT Filescan Sandbox) calculates FSIO Fuzzy hash for each appropriate input sample and looks for this hash in a specifically defined list.

Fuzzy hash lookup results are displayed in OSINT Lookup section

Please note, that you may not see result for every scanned malicious data.

The feature is enabled by default. To turn it off do the following steps:
