Compile YARA rules to test against files or strings
Project description
What is yara-ctypes:
A powerful python wrapper for yara-project’s libyara v1.6.
Supports thread safe matching of YARA rules.
namespace management to allow easy loading of multiple YARA rules into a single libyara context.
Comes with a scan module which exposes a user CLI and demonstrates a pattern for executing match jobs across a thread pool.
Why:
ctypes releases the GIL on system function calls… Run your PC to its true potential.
No more building the PyC extension…
I found a few bugs and memory leaks and wanted to make my life simple.
As a reference and guide to yara-ctypes see: yara-ctypes documentation
