Analizador de reglas YARA para mejorar la calidad y el rendimiento de las reglas
Las reglas YARA pueden ser sintácticamente correctas pero aún así disfuncionales. yaraQA intenta encontrar e informar estos problemas al autor o mantenedor de un conjunto de reglas YARA.
Los problemas que yaraQA intenta detectar son, por ejemplo:
2 of them en la condición)$ = "\\Debug\\" fullword)$ = "AA"; se pueden excluir del análisis usando --ignore-performance)Voy a ampliar el conjunto de pruebas con el tiempo. Cada versión menor incluirá nuevas características o nuevas pruebas.

YARA RULE ANALYZER
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-f yara files [yara files ...]
Path to input files (one or more YARA rules, separated by space)
-d yara files [yara files ...]
Path to input directory (YARA rules folders, separated by space)
-o outfile Output file that lists the issues (JSON, default: 'yaraQA-issues.json')
-b baseline Use a issues baseline (issues found and reviewed before) to filter issues
-l level Minium level to show (1=informational, 2=warning, 3=critical)
--ignore-performance Suppress performance-related rule issues
--debug Debug output
python3 yaraQA.py -d ./test/
Suprime todos los problemas de rendimiento y solo muestra problemas de detección/lógica.
python3 yaraQA.py -d ./test/ --ignore-performance
Suprime todos los problemas de carácter informativo.
python3 yaraQA.py -d ./test/ -level 2
Usa una línea base para ver solo los problemas nuevos (no los que ya has revisado). El archivo de línea base es una salida JSON antigua de un estado revisado.
python3 yaraQA.py -d ./test/ -b yaraQA-reviewed-issues.json
Las reglas de ejemplo con problemas se pueden encontrar en la carpeta ./test.
yaraQA escribe los problemas detectados en un archivo llamado yaraQA-issues.json por defecto.
