followed by the tool category and the data you want to lookup.
The plugin will open the data searched in a new tab in your default browser for each tool registered with that category.
This plugin currently comes default with the following tools:
NOTE: Prior to version 1.3.0
tools.conf
was the default configuration file used.The plugin will now automatically convert the
tools.conf
list totools.json
if it does not already exist in JSON form and will then default to using that instead.
The legacy config file will remain however will not be used and will not be included in future builds starting from v1.3.0
By default, the plugin will use the precofigured tools listed above. You can modify these settings by editing the tools.json
file in the plugin folder.
The format for the configuration file follows the below standard:
{
"Name": "VirusTotal",
"URL": "https://www.virustotal.com/gui/search/{0}",
"Categories": [ "ip", "domain", "hash"],
"Enabled": true
}
In the URL, {0}
will be replace with the search input. As such, only sites that work based on URL data (GET Requests) are supported for now.
For example, https://www.virustotal.com/gui/search/{0}
would become https://www.virustotal.com/gui/search/1.1.1.1
