Let’s parse the string into likely components:

| Segment | Possible Meaning | |---------|------------------| | faz | FortiAnalyzer – Fortinet’s centralized logging, analytics, and reporting appliance | | vm64 | 64-bit virtual machine image | | kvm | Kernel-based Virtual Machine (Linux hypervisor) | | v6 | Version 6 (likely FortiAnalyzer version 6.x) | | build1183 | Specific firmware build number (e.g., 6.0.0 build 1183) | | fortinet | Brand reference | | out | Unclear – possibly “output” or mis-typed “-for-” or “out-of” | | kvmzip | KVM image packaged in a ZIP archive |

A legitimate Fortinet file might look like:
