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.

THOR
THOR is the most sophisticated and flexible compromise assessment tool on the market. Incident response engagements often begin with a group of compromised systems and an even bigger group of systems that are possibly affected. The manual analysis of many forensic images can be challenging. THOR speeds up your forensic analysis with more than 12,000 handcrafted YARA signatures, 400 Sigma rules, numerous anomaly detection rules and thousands of IOCs. THOR is the perfect tool to highlight suspicious elements, reduce the workload and speed up forensic analysis in moments in which getting quick results is crucial. THOR focuses on everything the Antivirus misses. With its huge signature set of thousands of YARA and Sigma rules, IOCs, rootkit and anomaly checks, THOR covers all kinds of threats. THOR does not only detect the backdoors and tools attackers use but also outputs, temporary files, system configuration changes and other traces of malicious activity.

Siterack
All of your websites are pinged every 60 seconds to make sure they are alive and well. If an error is reported back, Siterack assesses the problem and will send a note to let you know. Siterack automatically runs a daily backup of all your sites and securely stores them in our cloud. All backups are displayed in your site's Control Center so you can easily search for the one you need. Before each update, Siterack grabs a backup - just in case. Afterward, Siterack incrementally updates each package and scans the site for any issues or failures using our AI. Error Detection system. If anything goes wrong, Siterack will automatically restore the most recent backup and let you know. Using dual-method, malware detection technology, the Siterack Malware Engine runs daily scans looking for and removing any malicious packages. The system uses a combination of Yara rule and signature violations to detect the malware and automatically remove it upon discovery.
