yarAnalyzer

Yara Rule Analyzer and Statistics

Description

yarAnalyzer creates statistics on a yara rule set and files in a sample directory. Place some signatures with .yar extension in the "signatures" folder and then run yarAnalyzer on a certain sample directory like:

yarAnalyzer.py -p /sample/path -s /signatures

It will generate two tables as command line output and two CSV files. (yaranalyzer_file_stats.csv, yaranalyzer_rule_stats.csv)

A new feature is the inventory creation.

yarAnalyzer.py --inventory -s /signatures

This will create a CSV file named yara-rule-inventory.csv (default, set with '-o') with information about the initialized rules. (Rule File;Rule Name;Description;Reference)
