Hey dude! Help me out for a couple of 🍻!
This script was made public into the official VT API documentation page. https://www.virustotal.com/en/documentation/public-api/
Before using the tool you must set your api key in one of this file or you can start without creating it and you will be promted to provide the data:
-
Home Directory:
- ~.vtapi, ~vtapi.conf
-
or current directory where vt script placed
- .vtapi, vtapi.conf
-
~.vtapi file content:
[vt]
apikey=your-apikey-here
type=public
intelligence=False
#coma separated engine list, can be empty
engines=
timeout=60
# as for weblogin, this only required for rule managment
username=
password=
- your type of api access, if private: type=private, if public, you can leave it empty, it will be automatically reconized as public
- if you have access to VT Intelligence, you need set intelligence=True
Dependencies:
- requests
- texttable
- python-dateutil
These can be installed via PIP or a package manager. Example of installing all dependencies using pip:
pip install -r requirements.txt
- Thanks to @kellewic and @urbanski
- Special thanks to @Seifreed for testing and reporting bugs
Example of usage as library can be found here
Few public API functions getted from Chris Clark script
And finally has been added full public and private API support by Andriy Brukhovetskyy (doomedraven)
License: Do whatever you want with it :)

option only
-fs, --file-search File(s) search, this option, don't upload file to
VirusTotal, just search by hash, support linux name
wildcard, example: /home/user/*malware*, if file was
scanned, you will see scan info, for full scan report
use verbose mode, and dump if you want save already
scanned samples
-f, --file-scan File(s) scan, support linux name wildcard, example:
/home/user/*malware*, if file was scanned, you will
see scan info, for full scan report use verbose mode,
and dump if you want save already scanned samples

Recursive dir walk, use this insted of --file-scan if
you want recursive
-u, --url-scan Url scan, support space separated list, Max 4 urls (or
25 if you have private api), but you can provide more
urls, for example with public api, 5 url - this will
do 2 requests first with 4 url and other one with only
1, or you can specify file filename with one url per
line
-ur, --url-report Url(s) report, support space separated list, Max 4 (or
25 if you have private api) urls, you can use --url-
report --url-scan options for analysing url(s) if they
are not in VT data base, read previev description
about more then max limits or file with urls
-d, --domain-info Retrieves a report on a given domain (PRIVATE API
ONLY! including the information recorded by
VirusTotal's Passive DNS infrastructure)
-i, --ip-info A valid IPv4 address in dotted quad notation, for the
time being only IPv4 addresses are supported.
-w, --walk Work with domain-info, will walk throuth all detected
ips and get information, can be provided ip parameters
to get only specific information
-s, --search A md5/sha1/sha256 hash for which you want to retrieve
the most recent report. You may also specify a scan_id
(sha256-timestamp as returned by the scan API) to
access a specific report. You can also specify a space
separated list made up of a combination of hashes and
scan_ids Public API up to 4 items/Private API up to 25
items, this allows you to perform a batch request with
one single call.

the file being queried. This additional info includes
the output of several tools acting on the file (PDFiD,

If this argument is provided the file will be
rescanned periodically every period days, if not, the
rescan is performed once and not repated again.

Behaviour options:
-bh, --behaviour The md5/sha1/sha256 hash of the file whose dynamic
behavioural report you want to retrieve. VirusTotal
runs a distributed setup of Cuckoo sandbox machines
that execute the files we receive. Execution is
attempted only once, upon first submission to
VirusTotal, and only Portable Executables under 10MB
in size are ran. The execution of files is a best
effort process, hence, there are no guarantees about a
report being generated for a given file in our
dataset. a file did indeed produce a behavioural
report, a summary of it can be obtained by using the
file scan lookup call providing the additional HTTP
POST parameter allinfo=1. The summary will appear
under the behaviour-v1 property of the additional_info
field in the JSON report.This API allows you to
retrieve the full JSON report of the files execution
as outputted by the Cuckoo JSON report encoder.
-bn, --behavior-network
Show network activity
-bp, --behavior-process

-bs, --behavior-summary
Show summary
Download options:

space separated list of hashes to download
-nm NAME, --name NAME
Name with which file will saved when download it
-dt DOWNLOAD_THREADS, --download-threads DOWNLOAD_THREADS
Number of simultaneous downloaders
Additional options:
--pcap The md5/sha1/sha256 hash of the file whose network
traffic dump you want to retrieve. Will save as
hash.pcap
--clusters A specific day for which we want to access the
clustering details, example: 2013-09-10
--distribution-files Timestamps are just integer numbers where higher
values mean more recent files. Both before and after
parameters are optional, if they are not provided the
oldest files in the queue are returned in timestamp
ascending order.
--distribution-urls Timestamps are just integer numbers where higher
values mean more recent urls. Both before and after
parameters are optional, if they are not provided the
oldest urls in the queue are returned in timestamp
ascending order.
Distribution options:

the given timestamp, in timestamp descending order.
--after AFTER File/Url option. Retrieve files/urls received after

Possible values are 'true' or 'false' (default value
is 'false').
--limit LIMIT File/Url option. Retrieve limit file items at most
(default: 1000).
--allinfo will include the results for each particular URL scan
(in exactly the same format as the URL scan retrieving
API). If the parameter is not specified, each item
returned will onlycontain the scanned URL and its
detection ratio.
