WildFire API Malware Hashes

L2 Linker

I'm trying to get the file hash values for all submissions WildFire deems as malware.  Is this possible?  From what I've read you have to specify the hash value in the API call but I'd just like a list of all values.

As @pulukas said, you can't do this with the WildFire API, but there are a couple other solutions:

 

1. The sha256 hashes are available on the Firewalls/Panorama.  They can output via syslog or webhook as they happen, or you can query them via the PAN-OS API.

2. AutoFocus subscribers can get a list of hashes via the AutoFocus API.  Here's an example request for hashes of all 'private' malware samples, which means all samples submitted by your organization to WildFire:

And an example result showing the sha256, md5, and sha1 hashes of one of the samples returned:

I don't think you can.  The idea of the API is to query for an Ad Hoc verdict not to pull the data for a separate or offline solution.

Thanks for the options.  I forgot about API and will go that route as we're still on 7.1 and not yet an AutoFocus subscriber.
