Report a problem

Looks up an IP, domain, URL or file hash in AlienVault OTX: the threat reports that mention it, malware, tags

Run

Through ot mcp, an agent calls run_tool with this; ot asks you before anything that goes online or touches a target. Set it up: ot mcp install claude (or cursor, vscode, codex, gemini).

{"tool":"osintverse-community/otx-indicators"}

Or just say: "Run osintverse-community/otx-indicators on … with OTInstaller." The registry's read-only MCP server at api.otinstaller.com/mcp can find tools without installing anything.

ot run osintverse-community/otx-indicators --format table
ot install osintverse-community/otx-indicators

Docker image in a read-only container · talks to otx.alienvault.com · no key · up to 2 min. The first ot run installs the tool after asking once. Drop --format table for JSON.

What this script does
  1. Downloads the latest ot release for your machine from GitHub Releases.
  2. Checks its SHA-256 against checksums.txt, and the Ed25519 signature on that file against the key built into the script.
  3. Puts ot in /usr/local/bin or ~/.local/bin. Nothing else is written. Read the script.

Not health-checked yet; 0.1.0 came out today; nobody has said yet whether it works.

0.1.0 is in its first week. Nobody has said whether it works yet.

otx-indicators

Looks up an IP address, domain, URL or file hash in AlienVault OTX (Open Threat Exchange). It reports how many community threat reports ("pulses") mention the indicator and lists up to 20 of them, each with its name, tags, malware families, adversary, targeted countries, references, author and link, plus the malware families, adversaries and industries OTX relates to it, and any allow-list notes such as "Whitelisted IP". For an IP address it adds the network and location OTX has. Uses AlienVault's official Python client, OTXv2. Only OTX's own data is read, so the target is not contacted.

ot run osintverse-community/otx-indicators --domain example.com

Inputs

Give exactly one.

Input Required
ip one of these IP address
domain one of these Domain or host name; a name with more than two labels is looked up as both a domain and a host name, as OTX files them apart
url one of these URL
hash one of these MD5, SHA-1 or SHA-256 of a file

Keys

None needed. OTX_API_KEY (ot keys set OTX_API_KEY), from a free OTX account, raises the rate limits: https://otx.alienvault.com/settings.

Notes

Pulses are written by OTX's community. Treat their names and tags as claims to check, not verdicts: very common names such as example.com appear in thousands of them, which is why OTX's allow-list notes are reported too. An indicator OTX doesn't know gives no entities and a note on stderr.

Next steps

Open a pulse's link to see every indicator it lists, or look the target up in osintverse-community/virustotal.

Development

pip install OTXv2==1.5.12
