Security news, read and ranked every 30 minutes.

Is this file or link safe?

Look things up in VirusTotal, which checks them against 70+ antivirus engines and security services, with second opinions from AbuseIPDB, Shodan and URLhaus where they apply. Files are fingerprinted on your device and never uploaded.

Check a file

Your browser calculates the file's SHA-256 fingerprint. Only that goes to VirusTotal.

Paste a full link, a domain like example.com, an IP address, or an MD5, SHA-1 or SHA-256 hash.

VirusTotal adds everything looked up through its website to its dataset, where other researchers can see it, and it may visit a link to scan it. The other services can see what you search for too, and some ask you to confirm you're not a robot first. Don't check links that contain personal details, like password-reset, invite or document-sharing links.

Results come from VirusTotal, AbuseIPDB, Shodan and URLhaus. SentryFeed only builds the link to the right page; each lookup happens on that service's own site, never through SentryFeed.
