# Watchtower

### The Sliver server has a built-in capability to periodically monitor VirusTotal and IBM X-Force for implant hashes to determine whether implant builds have been uploaded to such platform. To set it up, update your $HOME/.sliver/configs/server.json and set the following values in the watchtower object:

{ "watch\_tower": { "vt\_api\_key": "YOUR\_VIRUSTTOTAL\_API\_KEY", "xforce\_api\_key": "YOUR\_XFORCE\_API\_KEY", "xforce\_api\_password": "YOUR\_XFORCE\_API\_PASSWORD" } }

### Once that is done, restart the Sliver server. You can now use the monitor start and monitor stop commands to start and stop periodic monitoring of your implant builds on VirusTotal and IBM X-Force. The server is configured to stay below the limits of requests for the free tier component for each providers. This means 4 requests per minute / 500 requests per day for VirusTotal, and 6 requests per hour for X-Force.
