YARA 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. If you plan to use YARA to scan compressed files (.zip,.tar, etc) you should take a look at yextend, a very helpful extension to YARA developed and open-sourced. Configuring a Yara scan over a windows system Hi, I would like to be being able to perform a Yara scan to detect if we have any malware or look for any IOC.

In order to invoke YARA you’ll need two things: a file with the rules you wantto use (either in source code or compiled form) and the target to be scanned.The target can be a file, a folder, or a process.
Rule files can be passed directly in source code form, or can be previouslycompiled with the yarac tool. You may prefer to use your rules in compiledform if you are going to invoke YARA multiple times with the same rules. Thisway you’ll save time, because for YARA is faster to load compiled rules thancompiling the same rules over and over again.
The rules will be applied to the target specified as the last argument to YARA,if it’s a path to a directory all the files contained in it will be scanned.By default YARA does not attempt to scan directories recursively, but you canuse the -r option for that.
