ReversingLabs Unveils 100+ Open Source YARA Rules for Threat Hunters at Inaugural REVERSING 2020 SummitCAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 30, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ReversingLabs, the leading provider of explainable threat intelligence solutions, made a sizable contribution to the open source community today, publishing 128 of its rigorously tested YARA rules to GitHub for the first time. Announced at ReversingLabs inaugural threat hunter summit REVERSING 2020, these now publicly available rules enable threat defenders to detect a multitude of prominent and prevalent malware downloaders, viruses, trojans, exploits, and ransomware, including WannaCry, Ryuk, GandCrab, TrickBot and others. With free access to these rules that generate precise and accurate results and attribution, threat defenders now have the ability to more quickly pivot from a malware detection event to threat response. “Knowing that a YARA rule has detected ransomware with high degree of precision can mean the difference between a prevented attack and the one that slips by because it was left waiting for investigation to elevate its importance,” said Tomislav Pericin, Chief Software Architect and Co-Founder, ReversingLabs. “Threat hunters can confidently add these YARA rules to their toolkit. They are built to provide zero false-positive detections. Only those that pass rigorous testing against our 10 billion unique binaries get published, ensuring quality and efficacy.” Leveraging ReversingLabs extensive repository of 10 billion goodware and malware samples, deep understanding of destructive objects, and its analysts’ nearly two decades of threat hunting experience, these malware detection rules help threat hunters and other threat defenders attribute malware by type and family or variety to expedite threat response processes and reduce malware infection risk for their organizations. The rules can also be used to upskill threat defenders by showcasing high quality malware detection rules that consist of patterns that identify malicious code blocks.
