Strings (4 patterns)
| Identifier | Type | Value | Modifiers |
|---|---|---|---|
| $ | text | "Output files generated in" | wide |
| $ | text | "(&(cn=*)(!(cn=a*))(!(cn=b*))" | wide |
| $ | text | "unicodePassword" | wide |
| $ | text | "net.tcp://localhost:9389/ActiveDirectoryWebServices/" | wide |
Condition
uint16be( 0 ) == 0x4d5a and filesize < 2MB and all of themIn plain words (Heuristic)
- The file must start with “MZ” — a Windows executable (PE).
- The file must be smaller than 2MB (a cheap guard that skips large files).
- All patterns in the rule must match.
