Malware hash lookup database UI

Why Choose This Project

In cybersecurity operations, quickly identifying malicious files is critical to prevent malware outbreaks. Malware analysts and IT teams often rely on hash databases to verify file integrity and detect known threats. This project provides a web-based UI to query, manage, and analyze malware hash databases. It allows users to check file hashes (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256) against known malware signatures, speeding up threat detection and remediation.

What You Get

A secure platform where security analysts or admins can manage malware hash records. Users can input file hashes to check against the database, view hash details, malware type, severity, and associated metadata. The system provides search, filtering, and reporting functionalities. It is ideal for SOC teams, antivirus companies, and security researchers.

Key Features

Feature	Description
User Authentication	Secure login for admins and analysts to manage hash database
Hash Lookup	Input MD5, SHA-1, or SHA-256 to check if the file matches known malware
Malware Metadata	View malware type, severity, first seen date, last updated, and source
Add/Edit/Delete Hash Records	Admins can manage hash database with CRUD operations
Search & Filter	Filter by hash type, malware type, severity, or date
Dashboard Visualization	Overview of total hashes, recent additions, and malware distribution
Reporting & Export	Export lookup results or hash database to CSV/PDF for analysis
API Integration	REST API to integrate hash lookup with antivirus scanners or SIEM systems
Optional Threat Intelligence	Cross-check hashes against public malware repositories (VirusTotal, Hybrid)

Technology Stack

Layer	Technology
Frontend Layer	HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Bootstrap for responsive UI
Backend Layer	Node.js (Express) / Java Spring Boot / Python Flask
Database Layer	MongoDB / MySQL / PostgreSQL for storing hash records and metadata
Security Layer	HTTPS, JWT / OAuth2 authentication, role-based access
Optional Libraries & APIs	VirusTotal API, Hybrid Analysis API, Cron jobs for periodic updates

Working Flow

User Login – Admins or analysts log in securely.
Hash Input – Users enter the file hash (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256) into the lookup interface.
Database Query – System queries the hash database for a match.
Result Display – Show hash status (Known malware / Unknown), malware type, severity, and metadata.
Database Management – Admins can add new hash records, edit existing ones, or remove obsolete entries.
Dashboard Visualization – Display total hashes, recent additions, malware type distribution, and trends.
API Access – External systems can query hashes through REST API for automated checks.
Reporting & Export – Export results or full database for analysis or compliance purposes.
