## The brief

YARA-X 1.21.0 can accept scan targets from standard input through the command-line --scan-list option, according to SANS handler Didier Stevens. His Windows example pipes a generated directory list into the scanner, allowing a rule set to run against selected folders. Stevens reports five improvements and four bug fixes in this release.
