ABSTRACT:
An security module includes a detection module for determining that an electronic message received for scanning includes a protected component. The security module also includes a parsing module for parsing the electronic message to identify potential passwords for the protected component. The security module further includes an analysis module for attempting to access the protected component of the electronic message using the identified potential passwords. A submission module submits potential passwords to a decomposition module for accessing the protected component. If the correct password is found, the decomposition module opens the protected component and/or extracts the contents of the archive. An analyzer module analyzes or scans the contents of the protected component.
