Permalinks for VirusTotal Results

[News] 
The increasing number of AV engines and the new web interface that we started using a few months ago for VirusTotal have meant, as an undesirable side effect, a more difficult time when doing a screen capture of the complete results of an analysis to publish them in web pages.


Although we introduced the new function "Compact" in the results page, that allows the user to compress a report and view it in several formats to avoid scrolling and to make copying & pasting easier, we have realized it would be far more convenient to be able to use links to refer to results.


Until yesterday, URLs referring to VirusTotal results would expire within 20 minutes. From now on, URLs referring to VirusTotal results will be active for days and will never expire once they are linked and visited.


This way, instead of doing a screen capture or copying data, we will be able to refer to specific analysis results by using a link to the URL that appears in the browser, for instance:

Re: Permalinks for VirusTotal Results

It would be cool if the scan report for

http://www.virustotal.com/resultado.html?ff4a8423c8d0c07293648dfff56d2ead
and
http://www.virustotal.com/resultado.html?2bf16be8102a753ac322148c572ebb05

although they are the same MD5 Hash, when the user clicks on one of the above links, the most recent scan report for the MD5 is shown.

For instance if a user checks the first report, he'll notice nothing is infected for the MD5 Hash, but if the user clicks the second report he will notice malware was found. The second link has the most recent scan results for the MD5 hash so why not, when the user clicks the first link, the user is shown the scan report of the second url.

So basically instead of saving scan results by URL, save the results by md5. So report url 1 and 2 will always point to the latest scan result for that MD5 Hash.

Could this be possible?

Hello dudes,
VirusTotal is simply the best!

Thanks a lot for this useful website! :)

And a beg, can you set the file limit size up to 50mb?

Thanks again,
