Vimera

In spite of the palpable advantages that accompany the use of the world wide web’s wealth of knowledge, it may still be worth treading carefully, given the unfortunate tendency of malignant actors to disguise malware in seemingly safe files.

To combat this, it is recommended to scan every downloaded item before opening or installing it, which can be done either with the help of a dedicated antivirus app or through VirusTotal’s aggregation service. In the case of the latter, the process can be sped up using programs the likes of Vimera.

In an attempt to make it easier to identify items that have already been analyzed, malware scanners rely on a large database that makes use of unique hash values, which are automatically generated upon the first scan.

While cloud-based uploading is not an issue when it comes to small files, larger ones can take an overwhelming amount of time to process, which is where the app at hand comes into play. Thanks to Vimera, those working in cybersecurity can analyze multiple files at once and then export the results in text format.

If you happen to work on an application that is popular enough to gain a mainstream audience, you may find its installation setup hosted by third-parties, which can ease the bandwidth of your own platform.

Those who wish to err on the safe side can download the hosted versions and use Vimera’s Hash Comparator feature to check whether the hash matches and find out if they have been altered from the original setups.

Whether you find yourself in need of a more convenient method of verifying a file’s malware status through Virustotal or you happen to be working on expanding a cybersecurity database, Vimera’s straightforward design, clean layout and automation capabilities should suit your use case.
