Pattern matching solution for malware researchers
About YARA
YARA is a tool aimed at (but not limited to) helping malware researchers to identify and classify malware samples. With YARA you can create descriptions of malware families (or whatever you want to describe) based on textual or binary patterns. Each description, a.k.a rule, consists of a set of strings and a boolean expression which determine its logic. YARA-CI may be a useful addition to your toolbelt. This is GitHub application that provides continuous testing for your rules, helping you to identify common mistakes and false positives. The above rule is telling YARA that any file containing one of the three strings must be reported as silent_banker.
