VirusTotal is without doubt one of the go-to services when it comes to scanning a file for viruses online. Its appeal is mainly based on the fact that it is using dozens of antivirus engines in file verifications. Instead of just relying on a single engine, it uses the collective intelligence of many. The main gain from this is that it is more likely that viruses get identified correctly. The service itself maintains an uploader for Windows systems that you can make use of to send files directly from your local system to the service. The most recent version of it displays the list of running processes that you can send to the service right away. The application has not been updated for a while though and while it is working just fine, it lacks certain features. Phrozensoft's Virus Total Uploader is a third party alternative for the Windows operating system. It adds three options to send files to VirusTotal to the operating system. Using the main program window, either by drag and drop, picking files listed here or using the open menu. Via the drag and drop widget that it adds as a floating window to the desktop. Via integration into Windows Explorer's Send To menu. The main interface displays three tabs that detail the three different steps of the process. Uploads Process lists all files that you have added to the queue of files that you want scanned by VirusTotal. They are moved automatically to Awaiting Results, and then once t ...

VirusTotal.com is a great resource, a powerful tool which can quickly check just about any file for malware with around 50 of the world’s leading antivirus engines. But if you need to submit more than one or two files then its limited browser-based interface will quickly become a problem, and so you may want to try the new PhrozenSoft VirusTotal Uploader , instead. Once installed, the program makes it much easier to check the files you need. At its simplest, you can just select one or more files in Explorer, drag and drop then onto VirusTotal Uploader, and they’ll be uploaded for you. A straightforward interface keeps you informed on the upload process, and results are displayed as they arrive. That’s just the start, though. If you’re manually hunting for malware then you might start by checking your running processes, so it’s good to see that VirusTotal Uploader can do that, too. If you spot something which looks odd, select it, click the Submit button and it’ll be added to your upload queue. Drag and drop files and they’re uploaded right away The program provides additional tabs to view your startup programs, services, and any process with an open network connection. Again, you can run a scan on anything which looks out of place. And there’s even a “Download and Scan” tool; give the program your URL and it’ll download the file and get it checked out for you. PhrozenSoft VirusTotal Uploader does also have multiple issues. It nee ...

VirusTotal Can Now Analyze Network Traffic

Popular online virus scanning service VirusTotal, which can analyze user submitted samples for infection using more than 40 anti-virus scanners, has added a PCAP analyzer to its arsenal. The PCAP scanner can analyze network capture files (PCAP files) obtained from network traffic scanners like Wireshark or tcpdump, and analyze them for signs of infection, network intrusion and exploitation. To perform a check, users need to use any network traffic scanners capable of create a dump of the captured traffic in the PCAP format. The PCAP file then needs to be uploaded to VirusTotal the same way people submit EXE, PDFs and other file for analysis. VirusTotal will then extract the contents of the PCAP files and process it using popular intrusion detection systems such as Snort and Suricata and log the rules that they trigger. VirusTotal will also list all DNS resolution performed and all HTTP communications. Analysis of network traffic can often reveal communication between a malware or botnet client and its command server, cross-site scripting, malicious code injection from a remote server, and other types of attacks which may otherwise go undetected. Currently, VirusTotal employs only two intrusion detection analyzer - Snort and Suricata, but we can expect to see more scanners and analyzers being added in future. via VirusTotal © Instant Fundas , 2013 ...
