This trick is mostly useful but can also be used for wrong purposes. Since it is so simple, it’s probably already known for some people.
If someone sends you a file through OWA but the file is blocked by a policy, this is what you can do: 1-Install firefox 2-Access your email and attachment with the following rule: http://<hostname>/<OWA directory>/<mail box username>/Inbox/<email subject>.EML/<attachment filename> E.g.: http://webmail.example.com/Exchange/myusername/Inbox/virus.EML/virus.zip The best way is to try in following order: 1- http://<hostname>/<OWA directory>/<mail box username>/Inbox – you see all your emails 2- http://<hostname>/<OWA directory>/<mail box username>/Inbox/<email subject>.EML – you see only your email with the blocked files 3- http://<hostname>/<OWA directory>/<mail box username>/Inbox/<email subject>.EML/<attachment filename> – you download the file The actual address could be different for a couple of reasons. Try to check the attachment URL and use it like shown above. This can also be exploited through a malicious email with a link inside pointing to the malware directly.
