Not excactly a tutorial, but i noticed that the predefined list of dangerous filetypes was extremely small, it only includes five filetypes. Yes, i am aware, that other filetypes are covered be the predefined Content Type Filters (MIME types).

Here's a bigger list of filetypes, that can include executable code or pose a threat in other ways. A lot of them are not covered by the predefined Content Type Filters in the Dangerous Content Object. I would appreciate, if the proxmox guys would extend the predefined list in future releases :)

Please note, that also certificates are also included (.crt and .der). Certificate-files can pose a threat, if installed as trusted certificate. Unknowing users could be mislead by attackers.
