YARA 规则分析器，用于提高规则质量和性能
YARA 规则可能语法正确但仍然功能失常。yaraQA 尝试发现并向 YARA 规则集的作者或维护者报告这些问题。
yaraQA 尝试检测的问题例如：
2 of them 的规则）$ = "\\Debug\\" fullword）$ = "AA"；可通过 --ignore-performance 排除分析）我将随时间扩展测试集。每个次要版本都会包含新功能或新测试。
pip install -r requirements.txt
usage: yaraQA.py [-h] [-f yara files [yara files ...]] [-d yara files [yara files ...]] [-o outfile] [-b baseline] [-l level]
[--ignore-performance] [--debug]
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/
抑制所有性能问题，只显示检测/逻辑问题。
python3 yaraQA.py -d ./test/ --ignore-performance
仅抑制信息类问题
python3 yaraQA.py -d ./test/ -level 2
使用基线只查看新问题（不包括你已经审查过的）。基线文件是旧版本审查状态的 JSON 输出。
python3 yaraQA.py -d ./test/ -b yaraQA-reviewed-issues.json
存在问题的示例规则可以在 ./test 文件夹中找到。
yaraQA 默认将检测到的问题写入名为 yaraQA-issues.json 的文件中。
以下列表展示了 yaraQA 输出的 JSON 格式示例：
