I agree, .pdfs are usually fine unless they're malicious.

Wait, can you really block .pdf files? That seems odd.

I think we can block all of them, but I’m not confident about the specifics. I need to double-check which file types are typically associated with malware.

This question seems similar to one we practiced where we had to identify file types to block. I think .docx and .xlsx might be less risky?

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like we might only block the .sys and .pdf files since those are more likely to be harmful.

I remember we discussed that .sys files are often system files, so I think we should definitely consider blocking those.

This seems straightforward to me. The question is asking which files can be blocked, and the answer is E - all of the file types mentioned can be blocked using indicator hashes.

Based on the information provided, I think the answer is B. The .sys and .docx files can be blocked using indicator hashes, but the .pdf and .xlsx files cannot.

I'm a bit confused on the difference between blocking individual files and blocking by file type. I'll need to make sure I understand that before selecting an answer.

Okay, let me think this through. The question mentions .sys, .pdf, .docx, and .xlsx files, so I'm guessing the answer has to do with those file types.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully read through the question and options to figure out which files can be blocked using indicator hashes.

Option B is the way to go. Can't let those pesky .docx files slip through the cracks, can we? Gotta keep those devices safe from, you know, the usual suspects.

Haha, better watch out for those Excel files. You never know what kind of hidden formulas they might have! But seriously, I'd go with option B.

I think it's option B. The question specifically says to block the suspected malware files, and those are the only ones that match the extensions provided.
