Virustotal Hashlookup for RSA NetWitness is not able to view MD5 and SHA1
Issue
How to configure the context menu for virustotal to return the MD5 and SHA1 hash lookups during an event reconstruction.
Cause
If you are seeing this while attempting to access virustotal you have provided the wrong urlFormat in your context menu to look up MD5 and SHA1 hashes. This link will only return the results for SHA256.
On Security Analytics in your Administration > System > Context Menu Actions - Virustotal menu action, you may have configured:
