does not work for me for HA and VT, is API key in URL still supported ? about malsub

[kkochanski]

Hello @beamzer, Hybrid Analysis dev here.

Hybrid Analysis provides two API versions. They mostly differ in the way of doing authentication, parameters and the form of responses.

Here, what I see, malsub is using the first version (that is deprecated and going to be removed in the future - I would recommend using API v2 instead).
In order to be able to use that API version, you have to pass API Key and Secret. (all of it, you're getting at the moment of creating/regenerating API Key)

In contrary to malsub, the latest version of vxapi is using API v2. That API version requires providing only API Key in the request header.

To resolve your problem, I would recommend you regenerating your API Key at Hybrid Analysis. Then you will receive the API Key and the Secret that you will be able to use in both, malsub (passing API Key and Secret) and vxapi (passing just API Key). You will see it in the success message.

Hi beamzer and thanks for bringing this to our attention. I think your assumption is correct and we need to make some changes to fix it.

Hey beamzer,

You are missing the API user as per &secret=%3Capiuser%3E from the URI. Hybrid Analysis calls it a secret (check https://github.com/diogo-fernan/malsub/blob/master/data/apikey.yaml#L13).

Cheers,
Diogo

Hi Diogo,

This is wat i thought in the beginning too. but as far as i can see/find, Hybrid-Analysis and VT don't use a "secret". I know some others do, but for HA and VT there is no "secret" on my API profile page and also the other API methods i use work fine with only the API key string.

thanks,
Ewald....

It could be that the API specification changed or that the /api/quota endpoint is no longer available at Hybrid Analysis. Also try removing the apiuser parameter for HA from the YAML configuration file since you do not have one.

It may be that the /api/quota API endpoint is no longer available or that your API key lacks permissions. Have you tried other functions?

Hi Diogo,

Submitting to HA doesn't show an error, but it also doesn't show that submission in the HA webinterface.

When i try to receive malware data based on the file hash, i also an error.
When i try the same with the HA vxapi.py (and the same API key), it does give me the report.
