VirusTotal

API Keys

The VirusTotal API key is added via the integrations menu within LimaCharlie.

Usage

With the vt add-on subscribed and a VirusTotal API Key configured in the Integrations page, VirusTotal can be used as an API-based lookup.

event: CODE_IDENTITY
op: lookup
path: event/HASH
resource: 'lcr://api/vt'
metadata_rules:
  op: is greater than
  value: 1
  path: /
  length of: true

Step-by-step, this rule will do the following:

• Upon seeing a CODE_IDENTITY event, retrieve the event/HASH value and send it to VirusTotal via the api/vt resource.

• Upon receiving a response from api/vt, evaluate it using metadata_rules to see if the length of the response is greater than 1 (in this case meaning that more than 1 vendor reporting a hash is bad).
