Use cases
Built for every hash reputation workflow
From solo forensic analysts to enterprise SOC teams running thousands of lookups a day — HashScanner fits where you work.
SOC Operations
Bulk IOC Triage
Validate dozens of file hashes from an alert batch in seconds instead of clicking through VirusTotal one by one.
- Paste hash lists directly from SIEM exports
- Instantly separate known-clean from unknown or malicious
- Reduce analyst triage time by 80%
Malware Analysis
Sample Identification
Look up file hashes extracted from sandbox detonations or static analysis against authoritative malware databases.
- Identify known malware families instantly
- Cross-reference against NSRL to exclude legitimate OS files
- Focus manual analysis on genuinely novel samples
Digital Forensics
Evidence Verification
Validate disk image artefacts, triage file system hashes, and separate operating system noise from evidence of interest.
- Upload full CSV of filesystem hashes
- Filter known-good OS files in one step
- Attach signed result exports to case files
Threat Hunting
Proactive IOC Matching
Run new threat intelligence feeds against your environment’s file hashes to find hidden threats before they trigger alerts.
- Automate periodic batch checks via the API
- Correlate results with endpoint telemetry
- Build custom hunting rules on reputation data
Incident Response
Rapid Scoping
During active incidents, quickly determine the blast radius by checking all collected file artefacts for known-malicious hashes.
- Check 1,000+ hashes in under a second via API
- Identify attacker tooling and malware strains quickly
- Export results directly into IR reports
MSSP / MDR
Multi-Tenant Operations
Scale hash reputation across all your managed clients without per-lookup pricing eating into margins.
- Dedicated API rate limits for high-volume use
- Integrate into your existing managed detection platform
- Enterprise SLA with priority processing
Security Vendors
Product Enrichment
Add hash reputation data to your security product without building and maintaining your own intelligence pipeline.
- Simple REST API to embed lookups in your product
- Bulk endpoints for high-throughput enrichment
- Custom bulk size limits and dedicated infrastructure
Security Research
Dataset Analysis
Researchers analysing large malware corpora or building detection models can cross-reference sets of hashes at scale.
- CSV upload for batch dataset queries
- Export structured results for downstream analysis
- API integration with Jupyter, Python, and notebooks
