performing-malware-hash-enrichment-with-virustotal

Enrich malware file hashes (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256) using the VirusTotal API v3 to retrieve multi-engine detection rates, sandbox behavioral analysis, YARA rule matches, related indicators, and community threat intelligence. Use during SOC triage, incident response, or threat intelligence workflows to validate whether a file hash is malicious and gather context for IOC enrichment.
