A Vim syntax-highlighting plugin designed specifically for YARA rules, providing enhanced code readability and editing capabilities for malware analysts and security researchers. The plugin supports YARA versions up to v4.3, ensuring compatibility with current YARA rule syntax and features. It integrates directly into the Vim text editor environment, automatically applying appropriate syntax highlighting when working with YARA rule files. Installation is supported through multiple methods including vim-pathogen package manager, lazy.nvim for Neovim users, or manual installation by copying the necessary syntax files to the appropriate Vim directories. The plugin follows standard Vim plugin architecture and installation practices. The tool is developed by Petr Zemek and contributors, released under the MIT license, making it freely available for both personal and commercial use. It serves as a development aid for security professionals who create, modify, and maintain YARA rules for malware detection and analysis workflows.
