+YARA - a malware identification and classification tool
+
+YARA is a tool aimed at helping malware researchers to identify and classify
+malware samples. With YARA you can create descriptions of malware families
+based on textual or binary patterns contained on samples of those families.
+Each description consists of a set of strings and a Boolean expression which
+determines its logic.
+
+YARA is multi-platform, running on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X, and can be used
+through its command-line interface or from your own Python scripts with the
+yara-python extension.
