Condition
uint16( 0 ) == 0x5a4d and filesize < 10MB and $GoBuildId and ( 1 of ( $x* ) or 3 of them )In plain words (Heuristic)
- The file must start with “MZ” — a Windows executable (PE).
- The file must be smaller than 10MB (a cheap guard that skips large files).
- At least 1 patterns in ( $x* ) must match.
- At least 3 patterns in the rule must match.
- Pattern $GoBuildId must be present.
