# Information on Rules

{% hint style="info" %}
Storm's custom YARA scanner reads the detection info from the ***meta*** section of the YARA rule. Below is the only information required to successfully create a rule.
{% endhint %}

* Under your ***meta*** section, you must include a ***rule\_name*** and ***type.*** Everything else you add is optional and does not affect the scanning of the rule.

```git
meta:
	    rule_name = "Example Cheat" // Name of cheat
	    type = "Detect" // Warning or Detect
	    author = "Saxony" // Optional data that can be added
```
