Yara Decompressor is a specialized tool designed to run Yara rules against compressed malware samples without requiring manual decompression. The tool supports multiple compression formats including GZip, BZip2, and LZMA (XZ). Built using Go-Yara and XZ modules, the tool is statically compiled against libyara for portability and ease of deployment. It operates by processing rule files against directories containing compressed malware samples, automatically handling the decompression process during analysis. The tool addresses the common challenge faced by malware analysts who need to test Yara rules against compressed samples on systems with varying Yara installations. Currently, it processes rule files against entire directories of files in a batch operation. Future development plans include expanding support for additional archive formats such as Zip and Tar files, as well as handling password-protected Zip and 7z archives with common password testing capabilities.
