## Features Completed Today

### Setting Up YARA and Its Rules
- **YARA Installation**: Successfully set up YARA on the endpoint for malware detection.
- **YARA Rules**: Configured YARA rules to monitor the `/tmp/yara/malware` directory.
- **Debugging**: Resolved path issues by ensuring all paths are relative.

### Implementation of YARA Alert Scenario Leveraged by LLM Integration for January

#### First Step: Detecting and Responding to a YARA Alert

**Detection:**
- A security system uses YARA rules to scan files and detect potential malware.
- When a YARA rule matches a file, an alert is generated.

**Analysis:**
- The alert is sent to an LLM for further analysis.
- The LLM provides insights into the nature of the threat, potential impact, and suggested remediation steps.

**Response:**
- Based on the LLM's analysis, a script is generated to remove the malware.
- The script is reviewed by a human analyst to ensure safety and accuracy before execution.

#### Second Step: Saving to Database a New Activity

**Detection of Suspicious Activity:**
- A security tool (e.g., Wazuh, Snort, Suricata) detects suspicious activity based on predefined rules or heuristics.
- The suspicious activity is logged, and an alert is generated.

**Analysis by LLM:**
- The LLM analyzes the logged data, including file contents, network traffic, and system behavior.
- The LLM identifies patterns, strings, or hexadecimal sequences that are characteristic of the suspicious activity.

**Generation of YARA Rule:**
- Based on the analysis, the LLM generates a YARA rule that describes the identified patterns.
- This rule can then be added to the YARA ruleset for future detection.

**Example: Generating a YARA Rule**

Let's say the LLM analyzes a suspicious file and identifies the following characteristics:
- A specific string: `"MalwareSignature1"`
- Another string: `"MalwareSignature2"`
- A hexadecimal sequence: `{ 6A 40 68 00 30 00 00 6A 14 8D 91 }`

The LLM can generate a YARA rule as follows:

```yaml
rule DetectMalwareFamily
{
    meta:
        description = "Detects a specific malware family based on known patterns"
        author = "LLM"
        date = "2023-10-01"
    strings:
        $malware_string1 = "MalwareSignature1"
        $malware_string2 = "MalwareSignature2"
        $malware_hex = { 6A 40 68 00 30 00 00 6A 14 8D 91 }
    condition:
        $malware_string1 or $malware_string2 or $malware_hex
}
```

**Does YARA Need to Have the Suspect in Its Database Before?**

No, YARA does not need to have the suspect in its database beforehand.

- **Dynamic Rule Generation**: The strength of integrating an LLM with YARA lies in the ability to dynamically generate rules based on newly detected suspicious activities.
- **Adaptive Detection**: The LLM can analyze and identify patterns in real-time, allowing for the creation of new YARA rules that can be used to detect similar threats in the future.

### Date: 9/01

# Update: New XmlHandler Class Implemented

## Overview

We have implemented a new `XmlHandler` class to manage XML configurations. This class provides methods to add group and decoder sections to an XML file, ensuring that duplicates are handled appropriately with warnings.

## Key Features

- **Initialization**: Ensures the provided XML files are valid and contain a `<root>` tag. If missing, it gracefully encloses the content with a `<root>` tag.
- **Validation**: The `_validate_xml_file` method checks for XML declarations and ensures the file is properly formatted.
- **Adding Sections**: Methods `add_group_to_xml` and `add_decoder_to_xml` handle multiple sections and manage duplicates with warnings.

## Example Usage

```python
xml_handler = XmlHandler(local_rules_path="path/to/rules.xml", local_decoder_path="path/to/decoder.xml")

# Add group sections
group_sections_str = """
<group name="yara,">
  <rule id="108000" level="0">
    <decoded_as>yara_decoder</decoded_as>
    <description>Yara grouping rule</description>
  </rule>
  <rule id="108001" level="12">
    <if_sid>108000</if_sid>
    <match>wazuh-yara: INFO - Scan result: </match>
    <description>File "$(yara_scanned_file)" is a positive match. Yara rule: $(yara_rule)</description>
  </rule>
</group>
"""
xml_handler.add_group_to_xml(group_sections_str)

# Add decoder sections
decoder_sections_str = """
<decoder name="yara_decoder">
  <prematch>wazuh-yara:</prematch>
</decoder>
"""
xml_handler.add_decoder_to_xml(decoder_sections_str)

### Date: 13/01
- Implementing the testing features for xml files : 
= > Careful ! No header about encoding or enclosing tag (type root , decoderS , groupS , ect...)
= > Infact the xml files accepted are wrong strictly syntaxcally speaking... , but this is like this.

And , it won't pass the syntax test : 
   root@wazidx1:~# xmllint --noout /var/ossec/etc/rules/local_rules.xml
/var/ossec/etc/rules/local_rules.xml:9: parser error : Extra content at the end of the document
<group name="teler">
^
But this is normal.
So i implement a little code to remove mother tag and headers.

## Features Completed Today

### XML Handling and Formatting
- **XML Formatting for Wazuh**: Implemented the `_wazuh_format_xml` function to format XML files for Wazuh handling. This function reads the XML content, checks if the root tag is `<root>`, and extracts the inner content if necessary. The formatted content is then written to a temporary file in the `/scr/tmp` directory.
- **Error Handling and Logging**: Added error handling and detailed logging to the `_wazuh_format_xml` function to ensure that any issues are captured and reported. This includes logging debug messages at each step of the process and handling exceptions gracefully.

### Synchronization with VM
- **Synchronize XML with VM**: Enhanced the `synchronize_xml_with_VM` function to handle the synchronization of XML configurations with the VM. This function now includes error handling and detailed logging to provide visibility into the synchronization process.
- **Decoder and Group Sections**: The function can now add decoder and group sections to the XML file and test the group sections using the `test_group_sections` method. It also synchronizes the local XML files with the VM.

### Testing Logs Generation
- **Generate Testing Logs**: Updated the `generate_testing_logs` function to dynamically parse the decoder file located at `PATH_TO_DECODER_XML` and use the decoder information to generate testing logs. This ensures that the logs are more aligned with what `wazuh-logtest` expects.
- **Error Handling**: Added error handling to the `generate_testing_logs` function to ensure that any issues are captured and reported.
