YARA and SNORT rules increase the ability to detect sophisticated attacks by identifying malware from a behavioral or infrastructure standpoint, rather than relying on signatures. YARA rules can be ingested into tools such as threat intelligence platforms to identify and classify malware families and find related threats. In a similar fashion, SNORT rules can be used with intrusion detection systems (IDS) to augment alerting.
YARA and SNORT rules are used by automated systems, and therefore they must be crafted by experts to ensure precision and eliminate false positives. CrowdStrike expertly crafts and tests YARA and SNORT rules so you can identify emerging, sophisticated threats with confidence.
