Description
The Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) tool, Yara, was found at the website of the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP). Yara is a tool that allows users to scan files or memory modules and identify malicious software. Yara uses a signature-based approach, where a user can create a signature for a specific piece of malware and then use that signature to identify the malware in a scan.
