# Basic Rule Examples
{% hint style="danger" %}
Do not add YARA imports to your rules. They are by default implemented into Storm.
{% endhint %}
Basic String Based Rule
Checks if the specific string(s) below are found in the file's PE data.
rule example_detection_name { // Name of the detection
meta:
rule_name = "Example Cheat" // name of the cheat
type = "Detect" // Warning or Detect
strings: // Checks the pe data of a file
$string1 = "foobar" // String value
condition:
$string1 // If text string is found, then flag
}
In this example, ***foobar*** is the string being searched.
Basic Hex Based Rule
Checks if the specific hex value(s) below are found in the file's PE data.
```clike
rule example_detection_name { // Name of the detection
meta:
rule_name = "Example Cheat" // name of the cheat
type = "Warning" // Warning or Detect
strings: // Checks the pe data of a file
$hex_string = { 48 89 E5 55 48 83 EC 10 } // Hex value
condition:
$hex_string // If hex string is found, then flag
}
```
In this example, the hex value ***48 89 E5 55 48 83 EC 10*** is the hex value being searched.
Basic String and Hex Based Rule
```clike
rule example_detection_name { // Name of the detection
meta:
rule_name = "Example Cheat" // name of the cheat
type = "Detect" // Warning or Detect
strings: // Checks the pe data of a file
$string1 = "foobar" // String value
$string2 = { 48 89 E5 55 48 83 EC 10 } // Hex value
condition:
$string1 and $string2 // If both string and hex are found, flag
}
```
{% hint style="info" %}
Storm also supports other module rules such as recursive, boolean, tags, classification, ranges, binary data matching, and much more. Your imagination is your limit.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.stormss.cc/fundamentals/custom-yara/basic-rule-examples.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
