YARA v1.6!

“YARA is a malware identification and classification tool. It is aimed at helping malware researchers to identify and classify malware samples. With YARA you can create descriptions of malware families based on textual or binary patterns contained on samples of those families. Each description consists of a set of strings and a Boolean expression which determines its logic.
It is multi-platform, running on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X, and can be used through its command-line interface or from your own Python scripts with the yara-python extension.”



This is the official change log:

• Added support for bitwise operators
• Added support for multi-line hex strings
• Scan speed improvement for regular expressions (with PCRE)
• Yara-python ported to Python 3.x
• Yara-python support for 64-bits Python under Windows
• BUGFIX: Buffer overflow in error printing
