Yara Workbench Automation

in previous posts we have talked about how to get yara workbench to spit out some analysis results using the pe.dbg feature (now the console.log class in public release yara).
rule sect_entropy
{
	condition:
        pe.dbg("sect_entropy") and 
        for all i in (0 .. pe.number_of_sections -1):(
            pe.dbg( 
                pe.sections[i].name,
                math.entropy(
                    pe.sections[i].raw_data_offset, 
                    pe.sections[i].raw_data_size
                )
            )
        )

		
}
When I updated the yara engine to 4.3.1 I also added in a javascript automation feature. There are a couple sample automation scripts to get you started (along with a object browser and basic intellisense). Below is a quick script I used the other day to extract the seed values used in a sample set of api hashers.

if(!main.curResults) throw( new Error("No Results yet") )

hashs = {}

for(i=1; i <= main.curResults.count() ; i++){
    yf = main.curResults(i) //YaraFile class
    tmp = []
    tb.fopen(yf.file)
    tmp.push(fso.filenamefrompath(yf.file))
    
    for(j=1; j <= yf.TotalMatches();j++){
        ym = yf.matches(j ) //YaraMatch
        mr = ym.results(1) //known only one result no need to loop
        off = mr.offset //MatchResult
        seed = "0x" + tb.h(tb.uint32(off+15))
        cnt = hashs[seed]
        hashs[seed] = cnt == undefined ? 1 : cnt + 1
        tmp.push(tb.h(off))
        tmp.push(seed)
        tb.t(tmp.join(","))
    }
    
    tb.fclose()

}

//tb.t("
Seed hit counts: ")
//for(var propt in hashs){tb.t(propt + ': ' + hashs[propt]);}


Still need to test some of the stuff but handy addition anyway...
