Features Introduced in Previous Versions

If you register a stack of devices running Version 5.3 to a Defense Center 

running Version 5.3.1.4 and attempt to update the stack, at least one of the 

devices in the stack may fail updating. As a workaround, break up the stack 

and update the devices individually, then recreate the stack. (CSCuu66152)

The following features and functionality were introduced in Version 5.3:

File Capture and Storage

: Malware

: Series 3, Virtual, X-Series

: Any except DC500

The file capture feature provides the ability to automatically carve files of interest 

out of network traffic based on the file type or the file disposition. Once captured, 

the files can either be stored locally on FirePOWER appliances or automatically 

submitted for additional malware analysis using Sourcefire’s cloud-based 

sandboxing technology, dynamic analysis.
File capture is configured as part of a file policy and each file has a SHA-256 

calculated to uniquely identify files and reduce duplicates in file storage. Captured 

files are stored on the primary hard drive of the FirePOWER appliance.
