Static File Analysis with YARA

Pattern-based detection to rapidly analyze large volumes of files and identify malware at the network layer

Advanced malware detection that sees through obfuscation

Go beyond traditional antivirus with Corelight’s integrated YARA analysis. Unmask obfuscated ransomware and advanced persistent threats (APTs) using precise pattern-matching to strengthen your detection at the network layer.

Accelerate incident response with rich forensic context

Transform alerts into answers and cut through the noise to close your investigations faster. When a YARA rule triggers, Corelight generates detailed logs enriched with forensic context, including rule name, file ID, and full connection details. This actionable intelligence is sent directly to Investigator, SIEMs, or EDR/XDR platforms.

Tailor detection with custom and community YARA rules

Adapt your defenses to the threats you face. Corelight’s YARA integration empowers you to upload custom rules tailored to your specific environment or import community-sourced rulesets from trusted sources like CISA. This combination of bespoke logic and collective intelligence ensures you can mount a rapid, precise response to both targeted attacks and widespread emerging threats.

Automate file analysis at enterprise scale

Deploy comprehensive static file analysis without the operational drag. YARA automatically scans files extracted from your network traffic (executables, documents, and archives) in real time. This ensures total coverage across even the largest enterprise environments, eliminating manual review and providing the scalable, automated intelligence needed to stay ahead of threats.

Capabilities

Strengthen workflows with automated detection at the network layer

Deep network visibility

YARA enriches network evidence by generating detailed file analysis logs tied directly to Zeek® connection records, providing forensic depth that defenders need to validate findings and support compliance requirements.

Explore network visibility

Proactive threat detection

YARA pattern matching identifies known malware, ransomware, and APT tooling at the network layer in real time, catching threats that evade endpoint detection tools. Leverage YARA rules to proactively search for indicators of compromise and threat actor tooling within files traversing the network before alerts fire.

Rapid incident response

When responding to an active incident, YARA logs provide immediate forensic context with rule name, file ID, and connection details so you can rapidly scope the compromise, accelerate containment, and identify the root cause.
