yara match limit

Prev Next

Configures the limit for YARA matches.

Trellix identifies and reports on the first five (5) matching YARA rules seen for a given file. YARA rules are specific enough that only one or two rules will match malicious samples at any given time; therefore, more than five matches is usually rare. However, Trellix matches up to 5 rules in general, and for the dynamic engine, the rule with the highest weight is matched.
