It has no patterns: the condition alone decides (modules, file properties or other rules). YARA modules used: pe, hash.
YARA-X says: warning[deprecated_field]: field `number_of_sections` is deprecated

- The file must start with “MZ” — a Windows executable (PE).
- 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 the PE import hash (imphash).
- Checks PE sections (names, count or properties).
