Shameless plug: I wrote a small poc module to use hashlookup&#x27;s bloom filter (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;hashlookup&#x2F;a-ray-grass&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;hashlookup&#x2F;a-ray-grass&#x2F;</a>) in yara (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;VirusTotal&#x2F;yara" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;VirusTotal&#x2F;yara</a>). The idea is to easily discard files that are known to be safe and so to avoid launching thousands of yara rules on a file for nothing. One can also use it to keep track of some files that meet certain conditions for instance. The module can store any string in these filters so I see a lot of useful use-cases for this little thingy :) edit: forgot the link duh.
