Loading Yara fails

Open psYbrYn opened this issue 3 years ago • 5 comments

The utility is causing the system to hang when loading yara rules. I have tried this in Kali and Parrot OS both running the latest versions and everything is updated. The loading of yara rules always ends up killing the scan.

Can anyone help me?

Are you trying with the last version cloning develop branch directly? I remembered someone fix some issue recently about loading YARA rules in some systems

I figured the reason for this issue was Linux was over-committing memory. Both the times i was using it in VM environment with 2gb of RAM. I increased the RAM to 6 gb and yara rules loaded successfully.

Does masc consume a lot of resources? Is it supposed to consume that much resources?

P.S I used 0.3.1 and the previous version too. I installed using pip and by cloning git. The issue was always there.
