Basic File Report

This sample invokes and displays the results of a VirusTotal "file report" via DXL.

See File Report Documentation for more details.

The majority of the sample code is shown below:

Sample Code

# Create the client
with DxlClient(config) as dxl_client:

    # Connect to the fabric
    dxl_client.connect()

    logger.info("Connected to DXL fabric.")

    # Create client wrapper
    client = VirusTotalApiClient(dxl_client)

    # Invoke 'file report' method on service
    resp_dict = client.file_report("7657fcb7d772448a6d8504e4b20168b8")

    # Print out the response (convert dictionary to JSON for pretty printing)
    print("Response:\n{0}".format(
        MessageUtils.dict_to_json(resp_dict, pretty_print=True)))

Once a connection is established to the DXL fabric, a VirusTotalApiClient instance is created which will be used to invoke remote commands on the VirusTotal API DXL service.

Next, the file_report() method is invoked with the resource to report on (in this case, an MD5 hash).

The final step is to display the contents of the returned dictionary (dict) which contains the results of the file report.

Output

The output should appear similar to the following:
