- The file must start with “MZ” — a Windows executable (PE).
- All patterns in the rule must match.
- 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).
