    If ransomware prevention is enabled, this function is enabled by default.

    Currently, Linux servers support dynamic generation and deployment of honeypot files. Windows servers support only static deployment of honeypot files.

    Enabled

    Honeypot File Directories

    Protected directories (excluding subdirectories).

    Separate multiple directories with semicolons (;). You can configure up to 20 directories.

    This parameter is mandatory for Linux servers and optional for Windows servers.

    Linux: /etc/lesuo

    Windows: C:\Test

    Excluded Directory (Optional)

    Directories where honeypot files are not deployed.

    Separate multiple directories with semicolons (;). You can configure up to 20 excluded directories.

    Linux: /test

    Windows: C:\ProData

    Protected File Type

    Types of files to be protected.

    More than 70 file formats can be protected, including databases, containers, code, certificate keys, and backups.

    This parameter is mandatory for Linux servers only.

    Select all

    (Optional) Process Whitelist

    Paths of the process files that can be automatically ignored during the detection, which can be obtained from alarms.

    This parameter is mandatory only for Windows servers.
