VirusTotal

VirusTotal is a free service that everyone can use to check for virus or threats in a file, URL, domain or IP address by leveraging more than 70 antivirus scanners, blacklisting services and analysis tools provided by the global security vendors. Founded in 2004 by a Spanish company, VirusTotal was acquired by Google in 2012 and, in 2018, the ownership switched to Chronicle, a subsidiary of Alphabet. Starting from this week, most of the intelligence data generated by Quokka, the Threat Intelligence Platform developed by Certego, is available to the VirusTotal community. The Quokka platform was designed by a team of experienced malware analysts with passion and a strong commitment. The Threat Intelligence Team has mixed different tools, including Honeypots, real "traps" for the cyber criminals, and Sandboxes, virtual environments where it is possible to execute and study malware automatically and at scale. The result is a platform that enables Certego to gather relevant information in real time to track cyber criminal activities.
