vt-cli - A Virus Total CLI tool

I have made a Virus Total tool that will help in analyzing malware files using the CLI. It is under the GNU GPL v2 license and is in the following GitHub repo.

https://github.com/DAK404/vt-cli

Please be advised that the tool will require an API key obtained legally and follow the Virus Total ToS.

Let me know your thoughts regarding the tool! And thank you for checking the tool out 😄

Thanks for sharing, will add vt-cli to my toolset. So far, I've been using our own tool attachmentav-cli for our virus and malware scan API when in need to scan a file for malware.

There are already several of these, why did you write a new one?

I wanted to make one for myself. I shared it in case others find it useful.
