Unable to scan / upload

[rmenessec]

Unfortunately, I can't provide a sample of the file that's failing. I can only provide Python output. Test environment is Ubuntu 16.04.

On one machine, output is:

On another 16.04 machine, the output is:

Both machines are able to process other files normally.

1. OpenSSL.SSL.SysCallError: (32, 'EPIPE') <- is not vt script problem, probably pyOpenssl
2. the second one filed, as you got another error Can't resolv hostname, check your internet conection, it can't connect to vt
3. Both machines are able to process other files normally., i think that 2 bugs just related to some network problem

[rmenessec]

There's no problem with my Internet connection.

I'm sorry, I should have been clearer: I have one file that is failing repeatably on every machine I have with vt installed. For some reason, it's manifesting as two different errors. The host resolution error appears to be bogus.

Can you suggest a reason that host resolution would be working normally, with no Internet connection problems at all, and vt would always fail when attempting to scan one given file?

[doomedraven]

nop is a very strange error, can you share file to test?

[rmenessec]

I can't.

I did find the reason vt was failing differently, though: on one of the test machines, the pyOpenSSL system package was being overridden by a locally installed copy. After removing it, the file is causing vt to fail with the same error in all cases, on all machines.

[doomedraven]

your error

except requests.exceptions.ConnectionError:
            print '\n[!] Can\'t resolv hostname, check your internet conection\n'
            return '', ''

i will add post check to not show the AttributeError, but without sample i can't help you sorry
