Explanation

The basic (free) WildFire service supports analysis of Portable Executable (PE) format files. PE files are the standard Windows binary format, and this includes .exe (Windows executables), .dll (Dynamic Link Libraries), and .fon (Windows font files - which are also PE-format binaries). Files such as .apk (Android packages), .pdf (Adobe PDF), and .jar (Java archives) require a paid WildFire subscription to be analyzed. Understanding the PE format boundary is key: any file using the Windows PE structure qualifies under basic service, while platform-specific or document formats require the subscription tier.
