X-Ray: Automatically Submit Suspicious Files for Analysis
X-Ray is a free utility developed by Raymond.CC that allows users to submit suspicious files for analysis to over 30 antivirus laboratories or for an immediate security scan using VirusTotal. With its automatic updates and portability, X-Ray is the ideal tool for individuals serious about security.
Submitting samples is crucial to keep security professionals informed about new virus threats. X-Ray simplifies this process by providing web forms or email submission options. In some cases, users may need to complete a Captcha to prevent malicious reporting.
For scanning, X-Ray sends the file to VirusTotal, where it is scanned by up to 31 different antiviruses. The results are presented in a table, with any positive matches highlighted in red. X-Ray also offers a history function to keep track of previous scans.
