VT Hunting

VThunting is now featured on VirusTotal.

Virus Total Hunting is a tiny tool based on the VT api version 3 to run daily, weekly or monthly report about malware hunting. The report can be send via email, Slack channel or Telegram. The tool can also be used in cli to get a report anytime. The default number of result is 10 but it can be increase or decrease in the config part. This tool is only working with a Virus Total Intelligence API.
