Blacklist "UPX" YARA rule
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Of course it might be useful to detect UPX packed files (even though it
doesn't necessarily mean they're malicious), but the problem is that
this rule might hide a better detection underneath.

I ran a test with 592 UPX packed malware samples and the rule hit on 338
of them, which hid plenty of ClamAV's own signatures.
