Defunct YRP URI #47

Open Squiblydoo opened 6 months ago

Squiblydoo commented 6 months ago

Problem: The URI for the Yara Rules Project on the about.php is defunct. The URI should now point to https://github.com/Yara-Rules/rules.

It seems like the yararules.com website went defunct sometime between 2020 and 2022, which isn't too surprising seeing that the ruleset does not appear updated since 2022. The github now points to https://yara-rules.github.io/blog/ as the website. It seems to make more sense to point to the repository since the github blog hasn't been updated since 2018.

Why it is important: The reason the URI is worth updating is because it helps users find YARA rules that can be used in searching.

Recommended Solution: Change the URI on the about.php from yararules.com to github.com/Yara-Rules/rules. This also makes this link consistent with the other links on the about.php.

Note: cuckoosandbox.org is also now defunct, but I don't have a recommendation here. Is there another place to point users?

To edit my above suggestion, some reason it didn't occur to me that the cuckoosandbox.org should be updated to point to https://github.com/cuckoosandbox/cuckoo. This would bring it into parity with the https://github.com/Malshare/yara-rules/ repository.
