Description

virustotal_api.py ignores any proxy settings within /etc/environment, because it is initialized with only the virustotal_key by virustotal.py

virustotal_api.py:
  def __init__(self, api_key=None, proxies=None)

virustotal.py:
  def run(self):
    ...
    self.vt = VirusTotalPublicApi(self.virustotal_key)

Steps to Reproduce

1. set proxy within /etc/environment
2. try to run VirusTotal analyzer (without direct connection; only proxy)

Possible Solutions

Either add a proxies configuration:

  virustotal.py:
    def __init__(self):
      self.proxies = self.getParam('config.proxies', None)
      ...
    def run(self):
      self.vt = VirusTotalPublicApi(self.virustotal_key, self.proxies)
      ...

Or remove proxies from virustotal_api.py to use the system proxies.
