altenative source server for yara files

[nobur]

Hi,

By default, most of our servers are disallowed to connect to internet. In that case, Yara rules update can't take place as required.

Could it be possible to include a fall back solution like the folling one to make the updater to point to an internal server:

static public void Main(String[] args)
        {
            var contentsUrl = $"https://api.github.com/repos/Neo23x0/Raccine/contents/yara?ref=main";
            if(args.Length > 0)
            {
                contentsUrl = args[0];
            }
            SyncContentFromUrl(contentsUrl, "");
        }

This will allow us to specify an alternative URL directly on the command line

Probalbly an adaptation of the installation script will be required to ask for a value if required.

A better option will probably to rely on a config file with something like this :

if (File.Exists(appDir + @"\update.url"))
           {
               contentsUrl = File.ReadAllLines(appDir + @"\update.url")[0];
           }

This file could then simply included in the folder while deploying.
