Summary

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.
