It's not a good way to block it by file extention (like .swf) for the reason that there are so many file types can cause 'octet-stream' such as .exe, .cab, .dll, .dat, .cif. .vbs, .class and so on. Furthermore, it is not feasible to block all the files have the extentions above.

"octet-stream" is default filetype if it's not known. so you could block
