Remove, Filter, Convert

  • Refang Objects
    • Convert fanged objects to their original
      • Replace [.] with . 
      • Replace [://] with :// 
      • Replace hxxp with http
  • Remove http:// or https:// from beginning of object
  • Remove Comments from EDL - Removes Lines that begin with comment characters or comments after values
    • Comment Characters: / ; , #
  • Convert Entries to IP Addresses - This option converts all hostnames to IP Addresses(both A and AAAA records). 
    • Special Considerations
      • If the EDL is a mix of hostnames and IP addresses, the existing IP addresses are maintained
      • If the entry is a URL (ie. www.test.com/this/is/a/test/), the hostname of the URL is resolved(www.test.com)
      • ***Most Important*** - If the hostname uses DNS geo-location, it is best not to use this option as IP addresses will be resolved based on the EDL Manager server location, not your firewall's location.
  • Summarize IP list and exclude based on IP/CIDR
    • Summarizes and deduplicates IP subnets
    • Process excludes based on IP/CIDR, ie: 10.0.0.0/24 and excluding 10.0.0.0/25 would yield 10.0.0.128/25
    • This option disables other advanced settings in order to function properly.
  • Convert IP CIDRs to/from IP Ranges - This option converts CIDRs to IP Ranges or IP Ranges to CIDRs
    • Works for both IPv4 and IPv6
  • Filter by IP prefix length
    • Allow IP addresses that have a prefix length greater than, equal or less than a certain value.
  • Filter IP Address by Address Family - Filter by IPv4 or IPv6
