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:FakeTorrent_Loader_HashedAPI_Win64
Author:PeterFellow
Description:Stage-1 x64 loader from fake TV-episode torrents (LimeTorrents etc., Oct 2026; same campaign as Thereallo's South Park S29E03 analysis, C2 beenetprotect.com). Decoy USER32/GDI32/ole32 imports with no kernel32, a \SystemRoot\System32\ native path, and repeated FNV-1a prime multiplications (the article documents FNV-1a for the footer; its role in API resolution is unverified). Per that analysis the overlay carries a ChaCha20-encrypted stealer and a 64-byte footer, behind roughly 0.9-1 GB of padding.
