YARA

YARA is a tool and rule language designed to help malware researchers identify and classify malware samples. Analysts can define textual or binary patterns along with boolean logic to create detection rules. YARA can scan files, processes, and memory to detect indicators of compromise and malicious behavior. It is often integrated with threat intelligence platforms, SIEMs, and sandbox systems to automate malware detection. YARA rules are widely shared in the cybersecurity community, making it a foundational tool for malware analysis and digital forensics.
