This post shares a quick Python triage script that recursively scans files—and contents of ZIP-based Office documents—with an embedded YARA rule, then copies matching originals into a "MatchedFiles" directory to help investigators rapidly focus on relevant evidence. It includes example output and notes limitations (e.g., no handling of password-protected archives), positioning the tool as a fast aid for forensic triage rather than a general-purpose solution.
