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 ) == "5e89d335de2021a2c268acf00ec513e5" )

In plain words (Heuristic)

  • 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).
