Threat Analysis
This YARA rule is designed to detect general threats.
Severity Level: High
The rule uses pattern matching to identify specific byte sequences, strings, or behavioral patterns associated with malicious activity.
Detection Capabilities
- File-based detection for executables and documents
- Memory scanning for running processes
- Network traffic analysis support
Command Line Usage
# Scan a single file yara win_acbackdoor_auto.yar /path/to/suspicious/file # Scan a directory recursively yara -r win_acbackdoor_auto.yar /path/to/directory/ # Scan with metadata output yara -m win_acbackdoor_auto.yar target_file # Scan process memory (Linux) yara win_acbackdoor_auto.yar /proc/[pid]/exe
Integration Examples
Python (yara-python)
import yara
rules = yara.compile(filepath='win_acbackdoor_auto.yar')
matches = rules.match('/path/to/file')
