OPSWAT File Scanner

OPSWAT File Scanner

Introduction

A simple tool that scans a file against OPSWAT API.

1. Calculates the hash of the file specified by the user (up to 140MB in size)
2. Performs a hash lookup against metadefender.opswat.com and checks if there are previously cached results for the file
3. If results found then skips to 6
4. If results not found then uploads the file and receives a data_id
5. Repeatedly polls on the data_id to retrieve results, until scanning is done
6. Displays results including overall status and results by engine
