About:
The official command-line interface for the VirusTotal platform, enabling users to interact with the API directly from the terminal. It allows for uploading files, scanning URLs, and retrieving detailed analysis reports. This tool is essential for security professionals and researchers automating threat intelligence workflows.
|
Key Features:
- File and URL scanning from the command line
- Access to detailed threat intelligence reports
- Programmatic API interaction for automation
- Support for both public and private API keys
|
Use Cases:
- Automating the analysis of suspicious files in a CI/CD pipeline
- Batch checking a list of URLs for known threats
- Enriching security logs with VirusTotal data
|
Alternatives:
-
hydra
– Hydra is a parallelized login cracker, whereas virustotal-cli is for threat intelligence lookups.
-
curl
– Generic HTTP client that can hit the API, but lacks the specialized commands and output formatting of the dedicated CLI.
