Condition

uint16( 0 ) == 0x4b50 and filesize < 20KB and all of them

In plain words (Heuristic)

  • The file must start with “PK” — a ZIP archive (also Office Open XML, JAR, APK).
  • The file must be smaller than 20KB (a cheap guard that skips large files).
  • All patterns in the rule must match.
