Condition

( uint32be( 0 ) == 0x7f454c46 or uint16be( 0 ) == 0x4d5a ) and filesize < 4MB and all of them

In plain words (Heuristic)

  • The file must start with “MZ” — a Windows executable (PE).
  • The file must start with the ELF header — a Linux/Unix executable.
  • The file must be smaller than 4MB (a cheap guard that skips large files).
  • All patterns in the rule must match.
