External Variables in YARA Rules
Using the YARA rules in a tool other than LOKI or THOR Lite will cause errors stating an undefined identifier. The rules that make use of external variables have been moved to the following 4 files:
- ./yara/generic_anomalies.yar
- ./yara/general_cloaking.yar
- ./yara/thor_inverse_matches.yar
- ./yara/yara_mixed_ext_vars.yar
Just remove these files in case you see the above error message.
