Strings (4 patterns)
| Identifier | Type | Value | Modifiers |
|---|---|---|---|
| $ | text | "User=%s Pass=%s Host=%s" | |
| $ | text | "/etc/rc0.d/.rc0.d" | |
| $ | text | "pam_get_authtok" | |
| $ | text | "Password:" |
Condition
uint32be( 0 ) == 0x7f454c46 and filesize < 200KB and all of themIn plain words (Heuristic)
- The file must start with the ELF header — a Linux/Unix executable.
- The file must be smaller than 200KB (a cheap guard that skips large files).
- All patterns in the rule must match.
