Feature: federated search/sharing

[rjzak]

Allow instances of MalwareDB to interact with different policy options:

• Searching other instances and get the hash only,
• Searching other instances and get full metadata,
• Fetch a binary from another instance.

hey can I work on this?

[rjzak]

Yes! But let's figure out a design. Initially, I'm thinking three things:

• Config should be in the database, so if there's multiple servers for one instance, all have the same information.
• Use a Wireguard-type config, meaning a simple key pair used for both identification and encryption to share the data.
• The levels of sharing mentioned above: hashes, metadata, full binary.

What are your thoughts on possible implementations and use cases for this?
