Easiest way to download samples through VirusTotal Intelligence.

Setup by running the following command as root: cp vtdl.py /usr/bin/vtdl.

Example use-cases:

• Download one or more hashes: vtdl download hash1 hash2.
• Givenhashes.txt containing a list of md5 or sha1 hashes, to download all the samples (that are available on VirusTotal anyway), run: vtdl download $(cat hashes.txt).
• Search for a malware family or variant and fetch the first 5000 samples: vtdl search zeus -c 5000.
