How to do it…

In the following steps, we show you how to create YARA rules and test them against a file:

  1.  Copy your rules, as seen here, into a text file and name it rules.yara:
 rule is_a_pdf {        strings:               $pdf_magic = {25 50 44 46}        condition:               $pdf_magic at 0 }   rule dummy_rule1 {        condition:               false }   rule dummy_rule2 {        condition:               true }
  1.  Next, select a file you would like to check your rules against. Call it target_file. In a terminal, execute Yara rules.yara target_file as follows:
Yara rule.yara PythonBrochure

The result should be as follows:

is_a_pdf target_filedummy_rule2 target_rule
