sauron - A minimalistic cross-platform malware scanner with

项目说明

Sauron is a minimalistic, YARA based malware scanner with realtime filesystem monitoring written in Rust.

Features

* Realtime scan of created and modified files supporting Linux inotify, macOS FSEvents, Windows ReadDirectoryChanges and polling for other platforms.
* YARA engine complete support.
* Single scan mode to scan a folder, report results and exit.
* Parallel scanning using a configurable thread pool.
* Log, text and JSON reporting.

Known Limitations

Due to the filesystem monitoring mechanism, Sauron is extremely lightweight and non in as more sophisticated A, however this comes with the following limitations:

* Scanning files with an exclusive lock by other processes will likely fail with a Permission Denied error.
* Malicious files creation and execution won't be blocked but just reported.
* Fileless malware won't be detected.
* Detected files won't be linked to originating processes.

Building

Dependencies

Your system must have libssl-dev installed. For Ubuntu-deri this can be installed via sudo apt install libssl-dev.

Running

Assuming you have your YARA rules in ./yara-rules (you can find plenty of free rules online):

Single Scan

Alternatively you can perform a one-time recursive scan of the specified folder using the --scan argument:

You can specify which file extensions to scan (all by default) with the --ext argument:

Reporting

options are a for reporting:

* --report-clean will also report clean files.
* --report-errors explicitly report errors (reported as debug logs by default).
* --report-output <FILENAME> will write scan reports to a file.
* --report-json if --report-output is passed, write as JSON instead of text.

Other options

Run sauron --help for the complete list of options.
