Strings (6 patterns)
| Identifier | Type | Value | Modifiers |
|---|---|---|---|
| $v_11 | text | "Error occurs while reading" | wide |
| $v_12 | text | "{DECIMAL}" | wide |
| $v_13 | text | "lnk_" | wide |
| $v_21 | text | "Cannot connect with your ip and your operating system." | wide |
| $v_22 | text | "del /q /f %1" | ascii |
| $v_23 | text | "/f /tn %2" | ascii |
Condition
( uint32be( 0 ) == 0x7f454c46 or uint16be( 0 ) == 0x4d5a ) and ( all of ( $v_1* ) or all of ( $v_2* ) )In plain words (Heuristic)
- The file must start with “MZ” — a Windows executable (PE).
- The file must start with the ELF header — a Linux/Unix executable.
- All patterns in ( $v_1* ) must match.
- All patterns in ( $v_2* ) must match.
