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.

WPSniffer
WPSniffer is a free, open-source command-line malware scanner for WordPress and other PHP sites. It scans files on the host where installed, using YARA-X and community YARA Forge rule packages to detect suspicious code such as webshells. Operators can use supplied rules or add their own .yar/.yara files, choose core, extended, or full rule sets, and pin a rule release for repeatable scans. The Python package scans selected paths, accepts paths from standard input, supports filters, and can run in scheduled jobs or CI workflows. Caching, file-size limits and per-file timeouts help manage larger scans. Reports are available in readable, CSV or TSV formats, with selectable columns and optional email delivery. WPSniffer serves administrators, developers, hosting operators and security teams investigating compromised sites or checking server files for malware. Scans run locally; files are not sent to an external service.

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.
