Re: [squid-users] File download blocking.

Hello!

Try something like this:

acl blocked_extensions url_regex -i "/some/where/thing.txt"

"/some/where/thing.txt" contains:

\.exe$
\.com$
\.bat$
\.mp3$
(and so on...)

The "$" character means that this must be at the end of the url...

If you don't like to use files like in my example, use the idea only :o)

Hope it will help you... for me this works...

Regards,
Isaias

    I realise that this is probably an often posted topic, and I have read a
    lot about blocking file downloads with squid but my research has only
    raised more questions than answers. I'm hoping someone can help.
    
    My goal is to block downloads of executables and other 'undesirable' file
    types such as audio and video files. However, 'normal' browsing should not
    be interrupted and so files such as MS Word, Excel and PDFs should be
    unaffected.
    
    At this point I know this:
    
    1. How to block ftp downloads completely. This is relatively easy by
    blocking the FTP protocol, ftp port and URLs with FTP in them. (It is http
    downloads I'm having problems with.)
    
    2. It is possible to limit file sizes using reply_body_max_size. However
    this will affect viewing of PDFs and similar documents greater than the
    given size.
    
    3. It is possible to filter on mime type. However, there are so many mimes
    type it would be impractical to devise a list of acceptable or unacceptable
    types. Allowing only text/html or text/plain will not work.
    
    4. It is possible to filter on file extensions using regular expressions,
    e.g:
    
    acl rejected_extensions url_regex -i (https?://)(\w*.+/*)
    (\.wav|\.mov|\.mpeg.|\.mp.|\.avi|\.rm.|\.rar|\.wm.
    |\.divx|\.cda|\.midi|\.iso)(.*)
    acl reject_extensions urlpath_regex -i (\.wav|\.mov|\.mpeg.|\.mp.
    |\.avi|\.rm.|\.rar|\.wm.|\.divx|\.cda|\.midi|\.iso|\.pls)
    
    The problem I've found with this is, again, that the list is too vast to be
    practical. How many executable file types are there?
    
    5. One suggestion to the above problem is to filter on acceptable file
    types rather than unacceptable types. E.g:
    
    acl accepted_extensions url_regex -i (https?://)(\w*.+/*)(\..htm.
    |\.htm|\.css|\.srf|\.xml|\.nsf|\.asp|\.asp.|\.pl|\.cgi|\.php.
    |\.jsp|\.gif|\.jpg|\.jpeg|\.swf|\.png|\.bmp|\.pdf|\.txt|\.doc|\.xls|\.ppt)
    (.*)
    acl accept_extensions urlpath_regex -i (\..htm.
    |\.htm|\.xml|\.nsf|\.asp|\.asp.|\.pl|\.cgi|\.php.
    |\.jsp|\.gif|\.jpg|\.jpeg|\.swf|\.png|\.bmp|\.pdf|\.txt|\.doc|\.xls|\.ppt)
    
    However, both of these acls assume that the URL will contain a .file
    extension. But obviously, not all URLs do. Take a URL which refers to a
    directory with a default file such as http://www.microsoft.com/security/.
    That file does not appear in the URL and so will not pass with rule. So I
    came up with the following:
    
    acl accept_directory_url url_regex -i (https?://)(\w*.+/$)
    
    This works in conjunction with acl accepted_extensions url_regex but these
    still block URLs with no file type and no terminating /, e.g:
    
    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=test
    
    Any regex rule I come up with to deal with these URLs seems to be a catch
    all rule which will allow everything through. Doh!
    
    
    So is it actually possible to do what I want using squid? Am I asking too
    much? Should I be looking at a commercial solution rather than sticking
    with squid, or there an add-on I can use with squid to achieve my aims (I'm
    already using squidGuard as well)?
