## Historique du projet et usages

VirusTotal CLI, shipped upstream as vt-cli and invoked as `vt`, is VirusTotal's command-line interface for interacting with VirusTotal from terminals and scripts. It wraps common VirusTotal API workflows such as file, URL, domain, IP, analysis, download, search, hunting, and collection commands.

### Historique du projet

The public vt-cli repository was created in May 2018, and GitHub releases list version 0.2.0 on May 29, 2018. The project is maintained under the VirusTotal GitHub organization, uses an Apache-2.0 license, and publishes command documentation through GitHub Pages.

vt-cli belongs to the API v3 era of VirusTotal tooling: instead of being only a web interface for manual submissions, VirusTotal documents APIs and client libraries for automation. The CLI packages that automation into a single binary with global options for API key, output format, silent mode, and verbosity.

### Historique d'adoption

The CLI is mainly adopted by malware analysts, incident responders, threat hunters, and DevOps/security engineers who already use VirusTotal's web service. It has a narrower audience than VirusTotal itself, but it is valuable wherever terminal workflows and repeatable scripts are preferred over browser-driven lookups.

VirusTotal's own API documentation describes programmatic access for uploading and scanning files or URLs, retrieving reports, and building scripts without the website interface. vt-cli makes those same workflows accessible to shell users and package-manager users who want a maintained official client.

### Modes d'utilisation

Typical usage begins with configuring an API key, either through `vt init`, a config file, or a command-line option. Users then run commands such as `vt file`, `vt url`, `vt domain`, `vt ip`, `vt analysis`, `vt scan`, or `vt hunting`, often with JSON, YAML, or CSV output for downstream processing.

Package users tend to install vt-cli for quick hash lookups, file and URL submissions, triage scripts, and security automation. Its command surface mirrors VirusTotal object types, so it fits naturally into pipelines that already collect hashes, suspicious URLs, domains, IP addresses, or YARA/LiveHunt context.

### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

virustotal-cli is package-nerd useful because it turns a web threat-intelligence service into a composable Unix-style command. It is not a scanner engine itself; its power comes from letting local scripts and incident-response notebooks ask VirusTotal for reputation and analysis data at the exact point where artifacts are being handled.
