Strings (5 patterns)
| Identifier | Type | Value | Modifiers |
|---|---|---|---|
| $key1 | text | "IpDateInfo" | ascii fullword |
| $key2 | text | "IpDate" | ascii fullword |
| $key3 | text | "SelfPath" | ascii fullword |
| $config1 | hex | {7c 00 69 00 3a 00 } | |
| $config2 | hex | {7c 00 70 00 3a 00 } |
Condition
uint16be( 0 ) == 0x4d5a and 1 of ( $key* ) and $config2 in ( @config1 .. @config1 + 100 ) and filesize > 300KB and filesize < 100MBIn plain words (Heuristic)
- The file must start with “MZ” — a Windows executable (PE).
- The file must be smaller than 100MB (a cheap guard that skips large files).
- The file must be larger than 300KB.
- At least 1 patterns in ( $key* ) must match.
- Pattern $config2 must be found within the range @config1 .. @config1 + 100.
