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.

Author:DiegoAnalytics
Description:Detects attempts to inject code into another process across PE, ELF, Mach-O binaries
Rule name:DebuggerCheck__API
Reference:https://github.com/naxonez/yaraRules/blob/master/AntiDebugging.yara
Rule name:golang_bin_JCorn_CSC846
Author:Justin Cornwell
Description:CSC-846 Golang detection ruleset
Rule name:skip20_sqllang_hook
Author:Mathieu Tartare <mathieu.tartare@eset.com>
Description:YARA rule to detect if a sqllang.dll version is targeted by skip-2.0. Each byte pattern corresponds to a function hooked by skip-2.0. If $1_0 or $1_1 match, it is probably targeted as it corresponds to the hook responsible for bypassing the authentication.
