  -c cache-db           Name of the cache database file (default: vt-hash-
                        db.pkl)
  -i ini-file           Name of the ini file that holds the API keys
  -s sample-folder      Folder with samples to process
  --comment             Posts a comment for the analysed hash which contains

  --retroverify         Check only 40 entries with the same comment and

Features

  • MODE A: Extracts hashes from any text file based on regular expressions
  • MODE B: Walks sample directory and checks hashes online
  • Retrieves valuable information from Virustotal via API (JSON response) and other information via permalink (HTML parsing)
  • Keeps a history (cache) to query the services only once for a hash that may appear multiple times in the text file
  • Cached objects are stored in JSON
  • Creates CSV file with the findings for easy post-processing and reporting
  • Appends results to a previous CSV if available

Displays

  • Hash and comment (comment is the rest of the line of which the hash has been extracted)
  • AV vendor matches based on a user defined list
  • Filenames used in the wild
  • PE information like the description, the original file name and the copyright statement
  • Signer of a signed portable executable
  • Result based on Virustotal ratio
  • First and last submission
  • Tags for certain indicators: Harmless, Signed, Expired, Revoked, MSSoftware

Extra Checks

  • Queries Malshare.com for sample uploads
  • Queries Hybrid-Analysis.com for present analysis
  • Imphash duplicates in current batch > allows you to spot overlaps in import table hashes

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
