# Project
Yara is becoming increasingly used, but knowledge about the tool and its usage is dispersed across many different places. The Yara Rules project aims to be the meeting point for Yara users by gathering together a ruleset as complete as possible thusly providing users a quick way to get Yara ready for usage.

# Requirements
Yara **version 3.0** or higher is required for most of our rules to work. This is mainly due to the use of the "pe" module introduced in that version.
You can check your installed version with `yara -v`
Packages available in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS default repositories are too old. You can alternatively install from source or use the packages available in the [Remnux repository](https://launchpad.net/~remnux/+archive/ubuntu/stable).
~~Also, you will need [Androguard Module](https://github.com/Koodous/androguard-yara) if you want to use the rules in the 'mobile_malware' category.~~
We have deprecated mobile_malware rules that depend on Androguard Module because it seems an abandoned project.
