AQG File Inspector↑

The AQtive Guard File Inspector allows you to submit executable files or container images for deep cryptographic analysis. This is the starting point for gaining insights into cryptographic assets, such as keys and certificates, embedded within file content. By uploading files, you can discover potential vulnerabilities and compliance issues hidden in your infrastructure.

Once your file is uploaded, it’s scanned by the AQG Filesystem Scanner. Refer to Supported formats for details on the data types that can be discovered.

Upload a file↑

To upload a file, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to Data Sources from the main menu, then select Upload in the AQG File Inspector panel.

  2. To upload a file, either:

    • Click in the target area and select the file from your local system.
    • Drag and drop the file into the target upload area.

How it works↑

You’ll see the scan progress in the Scans table, which displays the following:

  • Name - the name of the file.
  • Status - the status of a scan. The possible values are:
    • Pending - scan is in the scan queue.
    • In Progress - actively scanning.
    • Completed - scan has been successfully ingested into AQtive Guard.
    • Canceled - the scan has been terminated by user action.
  • Scan Start - the timestamp for when the scan started (MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS AM/PM), based on the time zone set in your browser, with system time in UTC.
  • Scan End - the timestamp for when the scan is completed or stopped (MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS AM/PM), based on the time zone set in your browser, with system time in UTC.
  • Duration - the length of time the scan was active.

Any uploaded files will be visible in IT Assets. For more information, refer to Files.
