## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability ioc-malware-hash-lookup-f3fa058d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check if this file hash is associated with any known malware or IOCs: 44d88612fea8a8f36de82e1278abb02f?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to quickly verify whether a specific file hash (MD5, SHA1, or SHA256) is a known malware indicator of compromise. It is ideal for security automation workflows, incident response triage, phishing attachment screening, or any scenario where a file hash needs to be checked against a threat intelligence database. Prefer this over general web searches when you need structured, machine-readable IOC verdicts.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or unrecognized hash returns no threat data found
- Invalid hash format (wrong length or non-hex characters) causes input validation error
- Hash not yet in threat intelligence database returns inconclusive result
- Network timeout or service unavailability returns 5xx error
- Missing or malformed 'data' field in request body causes 400 bad request

## How this service works

The premier global index of 1,069 monetized MCP nodes across 205 specialized subdomains. Gasless USDC runtime settlements via x402 V2 Spec on Base L2. Save 95% token context.

## Output

Returns threat intelligence about the submitted hash, including whether it is a known indicator of compromise, associated malware family names, verdict (malicious/clean/unknown), and any available metadata about the malicious file or threat actor campaign.
