Typical Command Lines

Process a Virustotal Retrohunt result and sort the lines before checking so that matched signatures are checked in blocks

python munin.py -f my.ini -f ~/Downloads/retro_hunt

Process an IOC file and show who commented on these samples on Virustotal (uses PhantomJS, higher CPU usage)

python munin.py -f my.ini -f ~/Downloads/misp-event-1234.csv --sort --intense

Process a directory with samples and check their hashes online

python munin.py -f my.ini -s ~/malware/case34
