ioccheck

Documentation Status Tests Maintainability PyPi Status codecov

A tool for simplifying the process of researching file hashes, IP addresses, and other indicators of compromise (IOCs).

Features

  • Look up hashes across multiple threat intelligence services, from a single command or a few lines of Python.
  • Currenty supports the following services:
    • VirusTotal
    • MalwareBazaar
    • Shodan.io
  • Planned support:
    • URLhaus
    • OTX
    • InQuest Labs
    • MalShare
    • Malpedia
    • Maltiverse

Quickstart

root@kitploit:~
pip install ioccheck

You can also run the code directly

root@kitploit:~
git clone https://github.com/ranguli/ioccheck && cd ioccheck
poetry install

Populate ~/.config/ioccheck/credentials with an entry for each service you have credentials for:

root@kitploit:~
[virustotal]
api_key=YOUR_API_KEY_HERE

[malwarebazaar]
api_key=YOUR_API_KEY_HERE

[shodan]
api_key=YOUR_API_KEY_HERE

[twitter]
consumer_key=YOUR_API_KEY_HERE
consumer_secret=YOUR_API_KEY_HERE
access_token=YOUR_API_KEY_HERE
access_secret=YOUR_API_KEY_HERE

Usage

Using the API

Creating a hash

root@kitploit:~
>>> from ioccheck import Hash
>>> from ioccheck.services import VirusTotal
>>> eicar = Hash("275a021bbfb6489e54d471899f7db9d1663fc695ec2fe2a2c4538aabf651fd0f")
>>> # What kind of hash is this?
>>> print(eicar.hash_type)
SHA256

Looking up a hash

root@kitploit:~
>>> # With no arguments, check() tries all supported services. API keys grabbed from ~/.ioccheck by default.
>>> eicar.check()
>>> # Alternatively:
>>> eicar.check(services=VirusTotal, config_path=/foo/bar/.ioccheck)

Researching a hash

root@kitploit:~
>>> # Check the VirusTotal report to see if Sophos detects our hash
>>> eicar.reports.virustotal.get_detections(engines=["Sophos"])
{'Sophos': {'category': 'malicious', 'engine_name': 'Sophos', 'engine_version': '1.0.2.0', 'result': 'EICAR-AV-Test', 'method': 'blacklist', 'engine_update': '20210314'}}
>>> # What is this hash known as?
>>> print(eicar.reports.virustotal.name)
'eicar.com-2224'
>>> # How many AV engines are detecting this hash?
>>> eicar.reports.virustotal.detection_count
60
root@kitploit:~
>>> # Just show me the VirusTotal API response!
>>> eicar.reports.virustotal.api_response
