Packet vs File<br />

• Both Are Data<br />

Both a packet and a file are methods of getting data to a target<br />

• File Data Is Still User Supplied Input<br />

This appears to be a common mistake<br />

“Why would somebody open a corrupt file?”<br />

• File Exploits Can Bypass Corporate Firewalls<br />

Vulnerabilities exploited through files that open automatically are<br />

especially dangerous<br />

• File Based Vulnerabilities Are Easier To Detect?<br />

Easier to automate the examination of files<br />

Possible to capture network traffic and examine packet dumps<br />
