Hey team!

I have been trying to find a way to check the entropy of the domains through the yara-l rule, I found this strings function - https://cloud.google.com/chronicle/docs/preview/detection-engine/yara-l-2-0-functions/strings-shannon_entropy

 



but it seems I cannot use it in my environment, any idea what is the reason ?

 

This is an experimental function behind a feature flag. Please reach out to support or your Google Cloud Security representative to get this turned on.


Hi ​@AfvanJaffer .  I believe the exact function you reference and describe is actually still in Preview and this might explain why it’s not usable yet, but I am making a bit of an assumption here and would defer to someone who can say definitively.

Edit:  See the guidance from James above!
