lookuper

lookuper performs lookups against VirusTotal/ThreatExpert/Google Safe Browsing/HaveIBeenPnwed data for data types such as MD5, SHA256, URL, IP, Domains, Strings, Mutexes and email addresses

Data is cached in a local SQLite database. The VirusTotal functionality supports multiple API keys, so you can supply four public API keys and it will run continuously, iterating through the API keys.

Features

• Data caching in SQLite database
• Support for multiple API keys (VT)
• Batched requesting (VT)
• Supports hashes (MD5 & SHA256), URL's, IP's and domains from VirusTotal (https://www.virustotal.com/en/documentation/public-api/)
• Supports hashes (MD5, strings) from ThreatExpert (http://www.threatexpert.com/)
• Supports domains/URL's from Google SafeBrowsing (https://developers.google.com/safe-browsing/v4/)
• Supports email addresses from HaveIBeenPwned (https://haveibeenpwned.com/API/v2)

Configuration

The applications configuration is read from the lookuper.config file located in the same directory as the binary.

The configuration holds the following values:

• safe_browsing_api_key: The API key used for the Google Safe Browsing functionality
• virus_total_api_keys: The API key(s) used for the VirusTotal functionality
• max_hash_age: The maximium age that the data is held before being deemed as stale

Example

The following is an example layout of the lookuper.config file:

safe_browsing_api_key: ABC....
virus_total_api_keys:
- AAA...
- BBB...
- CCC...
- DDD...
max_data_age: 30

Compilation

This document assumes that the golang tool set has been installed.

Golang applications always have a src directory which contains the applications source code, along with any associated projects that are referenced by the primary application. The following shows where the applications source code resides:

/lookuper/source/src/woanware

gb

The project uses gb for building the project. gb allows for reproducible builds and vendoring so that all dependencies are kept with the project source.

Compile with gb

To compile the application use the following commands (assuming the same directory structure):

$ cd /lookuper/source
$ gb build all

Compile under Windows

The go-sqlite3 database driver used to access the Sqlite database is a cgo package, therefore gcc is needed to build the application. On linux this is generally not an issue as most normal people :-) have gcc installed.

On Windows, that is not always the case. So to build on Windows (x64), perform the following steps:

• Download tdm-gcc (x64) and install. Accept the defaults.
• Open a command prompt and CD to:

C:\TDM-GCC-64

• Execute the mingwvars.bat file which will get the correct environment variables
• Then CD to the lookuper source code and follow the same instructions for compiling using gb
