๐Ÿ“š What You'll Learn Here

Managing a corpus of known-bad samples โ€” validation testing, false positive analysis, and test-driven rule development.

Learning Outline

  • 1. Sample Collection โ€” VirusShare, MalwareBazaar, internal captures
  • 2. Safe Handling โ€” Isolated environments, hashing, no execution
  • 3. Test Corpus Management โ€” Known good vs known bad
  • 4. Rule Validation โ€” `yara --test-rules` with test corpus
  • 5. False Positive Analysis โ€” Identifying rules that hit benign files
  • 6. Threshold Tuning โ€” Adjusting rules based on test results
  • 7. Sample Labeling โ€” Tagging by family, behavior, packer
  • 8. Automation โ€” Automated test runs after rule changes
