yextend extends Yara's functionality by automatically handling archived and compressed content inflation, enabling pattern matching on files buried within multiple layers of archives.
yextend Description
yextend is a software tool that extends Yara's capabilities by adding native support for handling archived content inflation. The tool automatically processes files that are compressed or archived within multiple layers of containers, extracting and inflating the content so that Yara can perform pattern matching on the underlying payload. When yextend encounters archived files, it recursively extracts content from nested archives and compressed files, passing each discovered resource to Yara for analysis against specified rule sets. This eliminates the need for manual extraction of archived content before running Yara scans. The tool integrates with existing Yara workflows while extending functionality to handle complex file structures where malicious content may be hidden within multiple layers of compression or archiving. yextend maintains compatibility with standard Yara rules and operates as an enhancement layer that preprocesses archived content before analysis.
