vt-cli 1.3.1-1

Package Information

Descriptioncommand-line interface for the VirusTotal threat analysis platform

vt-cli provides a command-line interface to the VirusTotal API v3, allowing security analysts and researchers to query and interact with VirusTotal's threat intelligence database directly from the terminal.

With vt-cli it is possible to: - retrieve analysis reports for files (by hash), URLs, domain names and IP addresses; - submit files and URLs for scanning against 70+ antivirus engines; - search VirusTotal Intelligence using its full query syntax; - download files from the VirusTotal corpus; - manage LiveHunt YARA rules for real-time threat hunting; - launch and retrieve results from Retrohunt jobs; - filter output fields and export results in YAML, JSON or CSV format.

Results are output in YAML by default and can be narrowed down using include/exclude pattern filters, making vt-cli suitable for scripting and integration into automated security workflows.

A VirusTotal API key is required. Free keys are available upon registration but have rate limits and restricted access to premium features such as intelligence searches and file downloads.
