YARA Signatures


MalwareBazaar uses YARA rules from several public and non-public repositories, such as YARAhub and Malpedia. Those are being matched against malware samples uploaded to MalwareBazaar as well as against any suspicious process dumps they may create. Please note that only results from TLP:CLEAR rules are being displayed.

Rule name:botnet_plaintext_c2
Author:cip
Description:Attempts to match at least some of the strings used in some botnet variants which use plaintext communication protocols.
Rule name:command_and_control
Author:CD_R0M_
Description:This rule searches for common strings found by malware using C2. Based on a sample used by a Ransomware group
Rule name:DebuggerCheck__API
Reference:https://github.com/naxonez/yaraRules/blob/master/AntiDebugging.yara
Rule name:DebuggerException__SetConsoleCtrl
Reference:https://github.com/naxonez/yaraRules/blob/master/AntiDebugging.yara
Rule name:Detect_PyInstaller
Author:Obscurity Labs LLC
Description:Detects PyInstaller compiled executables across platforms
Rule name:golang_bin_JCorn_CSC846
Author:Justin Cornwell
Description:CSC-846 Golang detection ruleset
Rule name:pe_detect_tls_callbacks
Rule name:ProgramLanguage_Rust
Author:albertzsigovits
Description:Application written in Rust programming language
Rule name:PyInstaller
Author:@bartblaze
Description:Identifies executable converted using PyInstaller. This rule by itself does NOT necessarily mean the detected file is malicious.
Rule name:ScanStringsInsocks5systemz
