error - gzip: invalid header
israel9905 opened this issue · 10 comments
Hi, I downloaded the tool, and when I try to insert an API it gives me an error every time:
gzip: invalid header
Hello @israel9905,
Can you post the exact commands you were using? Providing more details to replicate the problem would be very helpful for us.
Thanks!

Marta
Hello @israel9905,
vt-cli uses vt-go under the hood, which communicates with our API by setting a Accept-Encoding: gzip
header and golang's gzip
library to decompress the response.
Are you able to gzip decompress files using go? You can try this snippet to check it out: https://pkg.go.dev/compress/gzip#example-package-WriterReader

Marta
I did not understand, I would love for a more detailed explanation, thanks
Hello @israel9905,
The command client you're using does requests to VirusTotal and expects the response in gzip format. I asked you to test golang's gzip example to check if there's a problem in your go install: https://pkg.go.dev/compress/gzip#example-package-WriterReader
Regards,
Marta
Okay, how do I check the command? Am I copying what is in the link to the terminal?
Hello @israel9905,
Let's change the direction of the troubleshooting. Execute the following commands on your kali:

You need to install the Go compiler (instructions here: https://go.dev/doc/install).

Hello @israel9905,
I followed the exact same steps on this docker image: https://hub.docker.com/r/kalilinux/kali-rolling
I needed the following additional steps to install dependencies:

Can you do the same steps on the docker image? I feel there's something wrong on your environment and the docker image is the best way to test a 100% clean environment from scratch.

Still having this issue on my arch machine... I feel like "just use docker" isn't a real solution lol
Edit: Running
export GOBIN=go env GOPATH
/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$GOBIN
Fixed it despite me making a symlink of the binary to my bin folder
