Condition

for any i in ( 0 .. pe.number_of_sections -1 ) : ( hash.md5 ( pe.sections [ i ] . raw_data_offset , pe.sections [ i ] . raw_data_size ) == "1b614f8d813125f56d2e772ed0ca5dae" or hash.md5 ( pe.sections [ i ] . raw_data_offset , pe.sections [ i ] . raw_data_size ) == "5c6496d33de5a35bd38ddb12d8b42e03" ) and filesize > 3MB and filesize < 6MB

In plain words (Heuristic)

  • The file must be smaller than 6MB (a cheap guard that skips large files).
  • The file must be larger than 3MB.
  • A for-loop checks a property over several matches or items.
  • Uses the pe module.
  • Uses the hash module.
  • Compares a hash of the file or a part of it.
  • Checks PE sections (names, count or properties).
