API page: https://www.virustotal.com/en/documentation/public-api

VirusTotal is a free service that analyzes suspicious files and URLs and facilitates the quick detection of viruses, worms, trojans, and all kinds of malware.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'virus_total'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install virus_total

Usage

Scanning Url

# initialize
url = VirusTotal::Url.new("https://www.example.com", "-- PUBLIC API KEY --")

url.scan   # response from POST "url/scan"
url.report # response from POST "url/report"

Scanning File

# initialize
file = VirusTotal::File.new("path/to/file", "-- PUBLIC API KEY --")

file.scan   # response from POST "file/scan"
file.report # response from POST "file/report"
file.rescan # response from POST "file/rescan"

Using response

# for example url.report
response = url.report
# <VirusTotal::Response:0x0000000252eac0 @response={
# "permalink"=>"https://www.virustotal.com/url/.../",
# "resource"=>"https://www.example.com",...,
# "scans"=>{"CLEAN MX"=>{"detected"=>true, "result"=>"clean site"},...}}>

response.response_code #=> 1: OK, 0: result doesn't exist, -2: still queued

# general info from response
response.info          #=> {"permalink"=>"https://www.virustotal.com/url/.../", "resource"=>"..."}

# scanning info
response.scans         #=> {"CLEAN MX"=>{"detected"=>true, "result"=>"clean site"},...}

# information about positive threats
response.dangers       #=> {"CLEAN MX"=>{"detected"=>true, "result"=>"clean site"}}

# antiviruses which found positive threats
response.danger_brands #=> ["CLEAN MX"]

Also we can get any key/value pair from response hash. If key (it is a string) from response has a whitespaces use underscore between words.

response.scans.CLEAN_MX          #=> {"detected"=>true, "result"=>"clean site"}
response.scans.CLEAN_MX.detected #=> true

Implemented but not testing yet (needs a private apikey)

Scanning IP-Address

# initialize
ip = VirusTotal::Ip.new("1.1.1.1", "-- PRIVATE API KEY--")

ip.report # response from GET "ip-address/report"

Scanning Domain

# initialize
domain = VirusTotal::Domain.new("example.com", "-- PRIVATE API KEY--")

domain.report # response from GET "domain/report"

Commenting

# initialize
comment = VirusTotal::Comment.new("-- Hash of file --", "-- PUBLIC API KEY --")

comment.put "-- Comment text here --"   # post a comment on the resource
