Overview
VirusTotal provides a service to analyze files and URLs for viruses, worms, trojans, and other kinds of malicious content. It is one of the most renowned and best-rated data sources within the cybersecurity sphere, particularly when it comes to malware research.
Upon submitting a file or URL, basic results are shared with the submitter and between the examining partners who use results to improve their own systems. It inspects items with over 70 antivirus scanners and URL/domain blacklisting services in addition to a myriad of tools to extract signals from the studied content.
This core analysis is also the basis for several other features, including the VirusTotal Community: A network that allows users to comment on files and URLs and share notes with each other. VirusTotal can be useful in detecting malicious content and also in identifying false positives—Normal and harmless items detected as malicious by one or more scanners.
Through collaboration between members of the antivirus industry, researchers, and end-users of all kinds, VirusTotal has built a database of over two billion analyzed files thus filling a gap for many companies which experience a lack of resources to collect their own malware samples and related indicators of compromise (IOCs).
More information on the VirusTotal APIs can be found here .
The Premium API has many advantages over the Public API such as:
- A strict Service License Agreement (SLA) that guarantees availability and readiness of data
- Has more endpoints (similarity search, clustering, behavioral information, etc.), and returns richer information for the items looked up, exposes whitelisting, and trusted source information
- Allows you to choose a request rate and daily quota allowance that best suits your needs
