Condition

uint16be( 0 ) == 0x4d5a and filesize > 15MB and filesize < 20MB and all of them

In plain words (Heuristic)

  • The file must start with “MZ” — a Windows executable (PE).
  • The file must be smaller than 20MB (a cheap guard that skips large files).
  • The file must be larger than 15MB.
  • All patterns in the rule must match.
