This pull request adds a small Go utility that reads file hashes from a text file and queries VirusTotal for their detection results.

VirusTotal is an online service that analyzes files and hashes using dozens of antivirus engines. Security researchers and developers commonly use it to quickly check whether a file has been flagged as malicious by known security vendors.

This tool automates the process of checking multiple hashes at once.

It takes two arguments, the file name containing the list of hashes and a VirusTotal API Key (which can be obtained for free by creating a VirusTotal Account). It then reads each file hash, queries VirusTotal and provides detection results.

In ~60 lines of code.
