Hi,

That'll get the current bagle strains, but the thing could mutate =
further,
setting some of the initial zip header fields differently.

As of today we're blocking all possible encrypted zips, not just bagles,
with this reg-exp:

  UEsDB....[Q-Za-fw-z0-9\+/]

checking the start of attachments.  Derivation below for anyone who =
cares.

According to the zip spec (http://www.idcnet.us/zip/zip-format.txt)

- The zip header has first four bytes hex =3D 50 4b 03 04

- The "encrypted" flag is first bit of the 7th byte

Doing the maths:

Hex     50       4b       03       04       X        X        bit0set  X

Binary  01010000 01001011 00000011 00000100 xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxx1 =
xxxxxxxx

6bits:  010100 000100 101100 000011 000001 00xxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx =
x1xxxx

16-31, 48-63

Base64  U      E      s      D      B      A-P    .      .      .      =
Q-Za-fw-z0-9+/


Regexp: UEsDB....[Q-Za-fw-z0-9\+/]

Someone posted this on another list about blocking all the ZIP's that =
are
encrypted and thought some of you might find this useful here.
