+# YARA Local Custom Rules Repository
+
+This folder has already been initialized as a git repo 
+and your Security Onion grid is configured to import any YARA rule files found here. 
+
+Just add your rule file and commit it.
+
+For example:
+
+** Note: If this is your first time making changes to this repo, you may run into the following error:
+
+fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at '/nsm/rules/custom-local-repos/local-yara'
+To add an exception for this directory, call:
+	git config --global --add safe.directory /nsm/rules/custom-local-repos/local-yara
+
+This means that the user you are running commands as does not match the user that is used for this git repo (socore).
+You will need to make sure your rule files are accessible to the socore user, so either su to socore 
+or add the exception and then chown the rule files later.
+
+Also, you will be asked to set some configuration:
+```
+Author identity unknown
+*** Please tell me who you are.
+Run
+  git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
+  git config --global user.name "Your Name"
+to set your account's default identity.
+Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository.
+```
+
+Run these commands, ommitting the `--global`.
+
+With that out of the way:
+
+First, create the rule file with a .yar extension:
+`vi my_custom_rule.yar`
+
+Next, use git to stage the new rule to be committed:
+`git add my_custom_rule.yar`
+
+Finally, commit it:
+`git commit -m "Initial commit of my_custom_rule.yar"`
+
+The next time the Strelka / YARA engine syncs, the new rule should be imported
+If there are errors, review the sync log to troubleshoot further.

+Finally, commit it:
