Description: # valhallaAPI
        
        This module allows you to interact with the Valhalla API, retrieve YARA rules in different formats, filter them and write them to disk. You can find more information about Valhalla on [our website](https://www.nextron-systems.com/yara-rule-feed/). The web interface, which doesn't have the filtering features of the Python module and the client, can be accessed [here](https://valhalla.nextron-systems.com/). 
        
        It contains a Python module `valhallaAPI` and a Python command line API client `valhalla-cli`. 
        
        # Python Module
        
        The web API allows you to retrieve the subscribed rules. 
        
        The 2 main functions of the Python module are:
        
        - `get_rules_text()` retrieves rules as text
        - `get_rules_json()` retrieves rules as JSON
        
        The module provides functions to filter the retrieved YARA rules based on 
        - tags
        - score
        - keywords
        - supported YARA version and required YARA modules
        
        It also allows you to retrieve a filtered rule set that fits the product that you use to apply the rules. For example, you can get a filtered rule set with rules that will run on your `FireEyeEX` appliance by filtering all rules that use feature only available in YARA versions higher than the supported `1.7.0`. 
        
        There are 2 extra functions for special lookups in the Valhalla database (for customers only):
        
        - `get_rule_info` retrieves rule information and all matching sample hashes
        - `get_hash_info` retrieves all rules matching on a certain sha256 hash
        
        ## Demo Access
        
        There is a demo API key that can be used for testing purposes. 
        
        ```
        1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
        ```
        
        It will allow you to retrieve the processed public [signature-base](https://github.com/Neo23x0/signature-base) rule set. 
        
        The key will also allow you to query the rule info for a single rule, which is:
        ```
        Casing_Anomaly_ByPass
        ```
        
        Please note that Valhalla has protection mechanisms in place that will block your end of the Bifrost for a significant amount of time if you try foolish things.  
        
        ## Getting Started
        
        ```bash
        pip install valhallaAPI
        ```
        
        Notes: 
        - make sure to use Python 3.6 or higher
        - you may need to use `pip3 install valhallaAPI` on Debian systems
        
        ## Usage
        
        Get a service status (does not require a valid API key)
        ```python
        from valhallaAPI.valhalla import ValhallaAPI
        
        v = ValhallaAPI()
        status = v.get_status()
        ```
        
        Response 
        ```
        {
          "error": "none", 
          "num_rules": 10463, 
          "status": "green", 
          "version": 2020051212
        }
        ```
        
        ### Text Rules
        
        Get all subscribed rules as text and save them to a file
        ```python
        from valhallaAPI.valhalla import ValhallaAPI
        
        v = ValhallaAPI(api_key="Your API Key")
        response = v.get_rules_text()
        
        with open('valhalla-rules.yar', 'w') as fh:
            fh.write(response)
        ```
        
        Or use the DEMO API key, which allows you to retrieve all public rules
        ```python
        from valhallaAPI.valhalla import ValhallaAPI
        
        v = ValhallaAPI(api_key="1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111")
        response = v.get_rules_text()
        
        with open('valhalla-rules.yar', 'w') as fh:
            fh.write(response)
        ```
        
        Get all subscribed rules with a minimum score of 75 and save it to a file
        ```python
        response = v.get_rules_text(score=75)
        ```
        
        Get all subscribed rules that contain the keyword `Mimikatz` and save them to a file
        ```python
        response = v.get_rules_text(search="Mimikatz")
        ```
        
        Get all subscribed rules for your scan engine, which suppports YARA up to version `3.2.0` and the `pe` module, and save them to a file
        ```python
        response = v.get_rules_text(max_version="3.2.0", modules=['pe'])
        ```
        
        Get all subscribed rules for your `FireEyeEX`
        ```python
        
        from valhallaAPI.valhalla import ValhallaAPI
        
        v = ValhallaAPI(api_key="Your API Key")
        response = v.get_rules_text(product="FireEyeEX")
        
        
        ```
        Get all subscribed rules for your `Tanium`
        ```python
        response = v.get_rules_text(product=v.TANIUM)
        ```
        
        The following products have predefined presets
        ```python
            FIREEYEAX = "FireEyeAX"
            FIREEYENX = "FireEyeNX"
            FIREEYEEX = "FireEyeEX"
            CARBONBLACK = "CarbonBlack"
            TANIUM = "Tanium"
            TENABLE = "Tenable"
            SYMANTECMAA = "SymantecMAA"
            GRR = "GRR"
            OSQUERY = "osquery"
            MATD3 = "McAfeeATD3"
            MATD4 = "McAfeeATD4"  
        ```
        
        An example response will look like

        ### Rule Info
        
        Get the information for rule `Casing_Anomaly_ByPass`
        ```python
        from valhallaAPI.valhalla import ValhallaAPI
        
        v = ValhallaAPI(api_key="Your API Key")
        response = v.get_rule_info(rulename="Casing_Anomaly_ByPass")
        ```
        
        Note that the rule info for `Casing_Anomaly_ByPass` is the only info that you can retrieve with the DEMO API key. 
        IMPORTANT: The rule info endpoint is rate limited. You can use it for single lookups. Bulk requests lead to bans.
        
        An example output of a rule info request will look like

        (only available for customers)
        
        Get all rules based on a keyword search (e.g. `Turla`, `Bypass` or `PlugX`)
        
        ```python
        from valhallaAPI.valhalla import ValhallaAPI
        
        v = ValhallaAPI(api_key="Your API Key")
        response = v.get_keyword_rules(keyword="Turla")

        Get all sample matches of rules selected by keyword search (e.g. `Turla`, `Bypass` or `PlugX`)
        
        ```python
        from valhallaAPI.valhalla import ValhallaAPI
        
        v = ValhallaAPI(api_key="Your API Key")
        response = v.get_keyword_rule_matches(keyword="LuckyMouse")
        ```
        
        An example output of a keyword request will look like
        ```json

        # API Client
        
        The API client allows you to query the Web API from command line. It requires Python3.  
        
        ## Getting Started
        
        Install Python3 and then run the following command:
        
        ```bash
        pip3 install valhallaAPI
        ```
        You should then be able to run `valhalla-cli` from command line using a Linux or macOS system. 
        
        On Windows, do the following:
        ```bash
        where valhalla-cli
        ```
        Copy the full path and then run 
        ```bash
        python C:\Python37\Scripts\valhalla-cli
        ```
        or just download the precompiled `valhalla-cli.exe` from the latest release in the `release` section. 
        
        ## Usage
        
        ```
        usage: valhalla-cli [-h] [-k apikey] [-c config-file] [-o output-file] [--check] [--debug] [-p proxy-url] [-pu proxy-user] [-pp proxy-pass] [-fp product] [-fv yara-version] [-fm modules [modules ...]]
                            [-ft tags [tags ...]] [-fs score] [-fq query] [--nocrypto] [-lr lookup-rule] [-lh lookup-hash] [-lk lookup-keyword] [-lkm lookup-keyword] [-lo lookup-output]

        valhalla-cli -k YOUR-API-KEY -fp CarbonBlack -o valhalla-april-cb.yar
        ```
        
        Get rules that contain the keyword `Mimikatz` and save them to `mimikatz-rules.yar`
        ```bash
        valhalla-cli -k YOUR-API-KEY -fq Mimikatz -o mimikatz-rules.yar
        ```
        
        Get a set of rules with the highest compatibility (lowest requirements) using the demo API key
        ```bash
        valhalla-cli -fv 1.7
        ```
        
        Get list of rules for the keyword `Turla`
        ```bash
        valhalla-cli -k YOUR-API-KEY -lk Turla
        ```
        
        Get all matches of rules that matched on the keyword `Turla` (limit 10,000 results)
        ```bash
        valhalla-cli -k YOUR-API-KEY -lkm Turla
        ```
        
        # Config File
        
        Valhalla-CLI will check `~/.valhalla` as the default location for a config file. 
        
        The config file currently contains nothing but the API key and mus look like:
        
        ```ini
        [DEFAULT]
        APIKEY = 786feaef202a37a8d693c57b1aeb7c8995313e358b901015c4e60033776929c3
        ```
        
        # Lookups 
        
        Valhalla-CLI has certain functions to perform lookups on its database. 
        
        The lookups return JSON output. You can use the `-lo file` option to save the JSON results to a file.
        
        ## Hash Lookups
        
        Hash lookup can be used to search the Valhalla database for a certain hash (SHA256 only). 
        
        ```bash
        ./valhalla-cli -lh 8a883a74702f83a273e6c292c672f1144fd1cce8ee126cd90c95131e870744af
        ```
        
        It will return a JSON structure.

        The following list explains the scores used in the rule set
        
        |Score|Type|Description|
        |-----|----|-----------|
        |1-39|Info|Low scoring rules used in our scanners (excluded from Valhalla, only used in our scanners)|
        |40-59|Noteworthy|Anomaly and threat hunting rules|
        |60-74|Suspicious|Rules for suspicious objects|
        |75-100|Alert|Hard malicious matches|
        
        # Important Notices
        
        - We constantly improve old rules. They may have changed the next time you fetch the rule set. Therefore it is recommended to always fetch a full set and replace older rules with their newer versions. 
        - The full rule set contains YARA rules with scores lower than 60, which are meant for threat hunting and anomaly detection use cases.
