This package checks if a given hash or file is registered as malware in [Team Cymru](https://www.team-cymru.org/) database.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install via composer:

```
composer require cbi/php-malware-checker

```

How to use it
-------------

[](#how-to-use-it)

If you don't have the hash you can generate it using a resouce or the uri to the file, by default it uses the `md5` algo:

```
// Generate a hash from a resource

MalwareChecker::makeHash($resouce); // fea80f2db003d4ebc4536023814aa885
MalwareChecker::makeHash($resouce, 'sha1'); // 38f00f8738e241daea6f37f6f55ae8414d7b0219

// Generate a hash from an uri

MalwareChecker::makeHash($uri); // fea80f2db003d4ebc4536023814aa885
MalwareChecker::makeHash($uri, 'sha1'); // 38f00f8738e241daea6f37f6f55ae8414d7b0219

// Generate multiple hashes from one file

MalwareChecker::makeHashes($uri, ['md5', 'sha1']) // ['fea80f2db003d4ebc4536023814aa885', '38f00f8738e241daea6f37f6f55ae8414d7b0219']
MalwareChecker::makeHashes($resouce, ['md5', 'sha1']) // ['fea80f2db003d4ebc4536023814aa885', '38f00f8738e241daea6f37f6f55ae8414d7b0219']
```

To check the generated hashes you can use two methods, `check` and `checkMany`, they use different protocols to avoid cluttering the database.

To check a single hash use the following function:

```
MalwareChecker::check($infectedHash);   // ['hash' => 'f58628917abcbcfb2b2258b6b46bf721', timestamp => '1511919759' detection_percentage => '68']
MalwareChecker::check($safeHash);       // false
```

To check multiple hashed use `checkMany` method, this method only returns the infected hashes among all the provided:

```
MalwareChecker::checkMany($hashes); // [ ... ['hash' => 'f58628917abcbcfb2b2258b6b46bf721', timestamp => '1511919759' detection_percentage => '68']]
```
