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:CVE_2017_17215
Author:NDA0E
Description:Detects exploitation attempt of CVE-2017-17215
Rule name:ELF_Mirai
