Pre-configured YARA Rules
Carbon Black App Control includes several pre-configured YARA rules, which are enabled by default. You can view these rules on the YARA Rules page, for example, to help you identify information about the purpose of a tag you see assigned to a file so that you know how to use that tag.
Important: All pre-configured
YARA rules are enabled by default and cannot be modified.
To get familiar with YARA rule parameters, see YARA Rule Parameters.
For a list of the YARA tags that have predefined meanings, see YARA Rule Tags.
