VirusTotal scan doesn't start

[alghe-global]

I managed to get the APKs from my device (Pixel 8a, Android 16), though virus total says it will start and then the script simply exits after showing progress bar (not started).

I had to write two scripts to work around this issue:

1. split.py - a script that will batch APK filenames to a maximum of M MB specified in the command line
2. scan.py - a script that takes in a file and runs VirusTotal on it (configured with user's API key)

I'm half way through scanning the zip files (individual, not partitioned with zip Linux utility so they are recognized by virustotal and files are scanned within, individually). Though, it'd have been nice if this was automated within MVT.

Thanks for all the effort so far.

N.B. I ran the tool within a container as instructed with MVT docker image documentation.

Could you try running the virustotal scan outside of the container? Maybe it was an issue related to the container or notwork.

Well, I implemented my own scripts to do the scanning. Fewer anti viruses scanned, though I was ok with the trade-off. ; Alexandru Gheorghe ; ; alghe.global gmail com
