Struct yara::Rules

pub struct Rules { /* private fields */ }

A set of compiled rules.

Obtained from compiling or loading a pre-compiled rule.

Implementations

impl Rules

pub unsafe fn unsafe_try_from(rules: *mut YR_RULES) -> Result<Self, YaraError>

Takes ownership of the given YR_RULES handle.

Safety

The provided pointer must be valid, and be acquired from the Yara library, either through [yr_compiler_get_rules], [yr_rules_load] or [yr_rules_load_stream].

impl Rules

pub fn scanner(&self) -> Result<Scanner<'_>, YaraError>

Create a Scanner from this set of rules.

You can create as many scanners as you want, and they each can have their own scan flag, timeout, and external variables defined.

pub fn scan_mem<'r>( &'r self, mem: &[u8], timeout: i32 ) -> Result<Vec<Rule<'r>>, YaraError>

Scan memory.

Returns a Vec of maching rules.

• mem - Slice to scan.
• timeout - the timeout is in seconds.

Example

let mut compiler = Compiler::new()?
    .add_rules_str("rule contains_rust {
  strings:
    $rust = \"rust\" nocase
  condition:
    $rust
}")?;
let rules = compiler.compile_rules().unwrap();
let results = rules.scan_mem("I love Rust!".as_bytes(), 5).unwrap();
assert_eq!(1, results.len());

let contains_rust_rule = &results[0];
assert_eq!("contains_rust", contains_rust_rule.identifier);
assert_eq!(1, contains_rust_rule.strings.len());

let string = &contains_rust_rule.strings[0];
assert_eq!("$rust", string.identifier);

let m = &string.matches[0];
assert_eq!(7, m.offset);
assert_eq!(4, m.length);
assert_eq!(b"Rust", m.data.as_slice());

pub fn scan_mem_callback<'r>( &'r self, mem: &[u8], timeout: i32, callback: impl FnMut(CallbackMsg<'r>) -> CallbackReturn ) -> Result<(), YaraError>

Scan memory with custom callback

Returns

• mem - Slice to scan
• timeout - the timeout is in seconds
• callback - YARA callback more read here

pub fn scan_file<'r, P: AsRef<Path>>( &'r self, path: P, timeout: i32 ) -> Result<Vec<Rule<'r>>, Error>

Scan a file.

Return a Vec of matching rules.

• path - Path to file
• timeout - the timeout is in seconds

pub fn scan_file_callback<'r, P: AsRef<Path>>( &'r self, path: P, timeout: i32, callback: impl FnMut(CallbackMsg<'r>) -> CallbackReturn ) -> Result<(), Error>

Scan file with custom callback

Returns

• path - Path to file
• timeout - the timeout is in seconds
• callback - YARA callback more read here

pub fn scan_process( &self, pid: u32, timeout: i32 ) -> Result<Vec<Rule<'_>>, YaraError>

Attach a process, pause it, and scan its memory.

Return a Vec of matching rules.

• pid - Process id
• timeout - the timeout is in seconds

Permissions

You need to be able to attach to process pid.

pub fn scan_process_callback<'r>( &'r self, pid: u32, timeout: i32, callback: impl FnMut(CallbackMsg<'r>) -> CallbackReturn ) -> Result<(), YaraError>

Attach a process, pause it, and scan its memory.

Returns

• pid - Process id
• timeout - the timeout is in seconds
• callback - YARA callback more read here

Permissions

You need to be able to attach to process pid.

pub fn scan_fd<'r, F: AsRawFd>( &'r self, fd: &F, timeout: i32 ) -> Result<Vec<Rule<'r>>, Error>

Scan a opened file.

Return a Vec of matching rules.

• file - the object that implements get raw file descriptor or file handle
• timeout - the timeout is in seconds

pub fn scan_fd_callback<'r, F: AsRawFd>( &'r self, fd: &F, timeout: i32, callback: impl FnMut(CallbackMsg<'r>) -> CallbackReturn ) -> Result<(), Error>

Scan a opened file with custom callback

Returns

• file - the object that implements get raw file descriptor or file handle
• timeout - the timeout is in seconds
• callback - YARA callback more read here

pub fn save(&mut self, filename: &str) -> Result<(), YaraError>

Save the rules to a file.

Note: this method is mut because Yara modifies the Rule arena during serialization.

pub fn save_to_stream<W>(&mut self, writer: W) -> Result<(), Error>where W: Write,

Save the rules in a Writer.

Note: this method is mut because Yara modifies the Rule arena during serialization.

pub fn load_from_stream<R: Read>(reader: R) -> Result<Self, Error>

Load rules from a pre-compiled rules file.

pub fn load_from_file(filename: &str) -> Result<Self, YaraError>

Load rules from a pre-compiled rules file.

pub fn set_flags(&mut self, flags: ScanFlags)

Trait Implementations

impl Drop for Rules

fn drop(&mut self)

Executes the destructor for this type.

impl Send for Rules

This is safe because Yara TLS have are short-lived and we control the callback, ensuring we cannot change thread while they are defined.

impl Sync for Rules

This is safe because Yara have a mutex on the YR_RULES
