teamcymru alerts

Hi,

I'm using the TeamCymru alerts in the notice.log file, but I was wondering
if someone could help interpret the specific field: file_desc which is
listed as "Additional context for file, if available"?

Normally that field will list a website, presumably where the file was
downloaded from and it looks like this <sanitized>:

"http://d pullupdate com/ius/Setup.exe"

Which is extremely useful. But there are some alerts in that field, which
are going to port 25, where it lists email addresses like this:

"<liuyp1952@163.com> -> <french_a@kids.wustl.edu>: Mail Delivery
(failur..."

That's the exact content of the field including the ... at the end.

I assume this is an alert for an email that went from that 163.com account
to the french_a@kids account and the malicious file BRO detected was
attached.

Do I have this right? What about that Mail Delivery (failur... at the end?
Thanks,
-Brian

Yep.

The "..." indicates that the content was trimmed.
