Virustotal announced the addition of a new feature two days ago on the official company blog. The service supports the analysis of so-called PCAP data now. PCAP - PAcket CApture - files contain captured network traffic. One use in this regard is the capturing of network traffic during software installations or while software is running that you want to analyze to find out if unauthorized connections are being made, and if this is the case, to which servers. Previously, you were able to scan the file on Virustotal, but that did not necessarily tell you anything about the connections that it made while it was running.
