[--download] [-d download_path] [--nocache] [--nocsv]
[--verifycert] [--sort] [--web] [-w port] [--cli]
[--rescan] [--debug]
Online Hash Checker
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-f path File to process (hash line by line OR csv with hash
in each line - auto-detects position and comment)
--vh search-string Query Valhalla for hashes by keyword, tags, YARA

--rescan Trigger a rescan of each analyzed file
--debug Debug output
- Retrieves valuable information from Virustotal via API (JSON response) and other information via permalink (HTML parsing)
- Retrieves extra information from a list of platforms
- 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
- 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
- Queries Malshare.com for sample uploads
- Queries Hybrid-Analysis.com for reports
- Queries multiple MISP instances for available events
- Queries Any.run sandbox for reports
- Queries CAPE sandbox for reports
- Queries URLhaus for reports
- Queries Malshare for available samples
- Queries Valhalla for YARA rule matches
- Imphash duplicates in current batch > allows you to spot overlaps in import table hashes
- PE signature duplicate checks
- Default - by providing an input file (-f) with hashes or sample directory (-s)
- Query - to search hashes from Valhalla by keyword, tags, ATT&CK technique (e.g. T1023), ATT&CK threat group (e.g. G0049) or rule name (-q)
- Command Line Interface - using the --cli parameter
- Web Service Mode - using the --web parameter
- Download / clone the repo
- Install required packages:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt(on macOS add--user) - Set the API keys for the different services in your custom ini file
cp munin.ini my.ini(see sectionGet the API Keysfor help) - Use the demo file for a first run:
python munin.py -i my.ini -f munin-demo.txt
- Python 3.7 and higher
- Internet Connection (Proxy Support; SSL/TLS interception can be a problem)
Process a Virustotal Retrohunt result and sort the lines before checking so that matched signatures are checked in blocks
python3 munin.py -i my.ini -f ~/Downloads/retro_huntProcess a directory with samples and check their hashes online
python3 munin.py -i my.ini -s ~/malware/case34Use the command line interface mode (new in v0.14)

Hashlookup CIRCL's instance is provided free of charge and served as a best-effort basis.
Start munin with --cli and follow the instruction.
E.g.
python3 munin.py -i my.ini --cliPaste content with hash values in it and then press CTRL+D to finalize the input. The last line needs a line break at its end.
In the default, it will create a CSV file with the current date in the file name.
Start munin with --web and optional select a port -w port.
E.g.
python3 munin.py -i my.ini --web -w 8080The web service waits for strings in the following URL scheme.
http://server:port/<string>The string can be any string without line breaks, e.g.
Emotet:1585ad28f7d1e0ca696e6c6c2f1d008a
ed01ebfbc9eb5bbea545af4d01bf5f1071661840480439c6e5babe8e080e41aa;IOC1

}The queries to Virustotal need to be throttled. Therefore the web service applies a cool down time, that is minimized by subtracting the time it took to process all other platforms from the wait time of 15 seconds.
cooldown_time = vt_wait_time - process_time
During the cooldown, requests will return this response:
{"status": "VT cooldown active"}The cool down is not relevant when requesting hashes that are already in the lookup cache.
The Munin host and IP checker script (munin-host.py) retrieves more information on IP addresses and host/domain names in IOC lists.
usage: munin-host.py [-h] [-f path] [-o output] [-m max-items] [-c cache-db]
[-i ini-file] [--nocache] [--nocsv] [--recursive]
[--download] [-d download_path] [--dups] [--noresolve]
[--ping] [--debug]
Virustotal Online Checker (IP/Domain)
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-f path File to process (hash line by line OR csv with hash in
each line - auto-detects position and comment)
-o output Output file for results (CSV)
-m max-items Maximum number of items (urls, hosts, samples) to show
-c cache-db Name of the cache database file (default: vt-hosts-
db.json)
-i ini-file Name of the ini file that holds the API keys
--nocache Do not use the load the cache db (vt-check-cache.pkl)
--nocsv Do not write a CSV with the results
--recursive Process the resolved IPs as well
--download Try to download the URLs (directories with host/ip names)
-d download_path Store the downloads to the given directory
--dups Do not skip duplicate hashes
--noresolve Do not perform DNS resolve test on found domain names
--ping Perform ping check on IPs (speeds up process if many
public but internally routed IPs appear in text file)
--debug Debug output
Parse the demo file, extract IPs and hosts, don't just check the domains that are still resolvable and download samples directly from the remote systems.
python3 munin-host.py -i your-key.ini -f ./munin-hosts-demo.txt --noresolve --download
Using munin-host.py in an IDS monitored network will cause numerous alerts as munin-host.py performs DNS lookups for malicious domains and has the option to download malicious samples.
The script munin-host.py requires the module pycurl. It's sometimes tricky to make it work on macOS as it requires an openssl to be installed, which is then used in the build process.
If error's occur try the following (some environments will require pip3)
pip uninstall pycurl
brew update
brew reinstall openssl
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/pkgconfig"
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include"
export PYCURL_SSL_LIBRARY=openssl
pip install pycurl --global-option="--with-openssl"
The Hugin script (hugin.py) retrieves and displays information to all samples returned in a retrohunt. The big advantage is that you don't have to wait 15 seconds between each sample request but pull the full JSON result file via v3 of the Virustotal API. This way you get your results immediately. The disadvantage is that other services like Any.run, Hybrid-Analysis, MISP or Valhalla don't get queried with Hugin.
usage: hugin.py [-h] [-r retrohunt-name] [-i ini-file]
[--csv-path CSV_PATH] [--debug] [--no-comments]
Retrohunt Checker
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-r retrohunt-name Name for the queried retrohunt
-i ini-file Name of the ini file that holds the VT API key
--csv-path CSV_PATH Write a CSV with the results
--debug Debug output
--no-comments Skip VirusTotal comments
Parse a retrohunt and export a CSV file with the results.
python3 hugin.py -i config-with-your-key.ini -r retrohunt-123456789
