LocCheck : A Tool For Simplifying The Process Of Researching IOCs

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

Features

Quickstart

pip install ioccheck

You can also run the code directly

git clone https://github.com/ranguli/ioccheck && cd ioccheck
poetry install

Usage

Using the API

Creating a hash

>>>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

>>> # 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

>>>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

>>> # Just show me the VirusTotal API response!
>>> eicar.reports.virustotal.api_response
