# Statistical Analysis

**Enable string length scan** - `string_length_scan`
This is an EXPERIMENTAL feature and should be used with caution. Enable the identification of threats based on the length of the longest uninterrupted string within a file. This is useful as obfuscated code is often stored using encoding methods that produce very long strings without spaces (e.g: base64)
Default: 0

**String length** - `string_length`
The length of the longest uninterrupted string within a file.
Default: 150000
