Condition
uint16( 0 ) == 0x253c and filesize < 100KB and ( 1 of ( $x* ) or 2 of them ) or 4 of themIn plain words (Heuristic)
- The file must be smaller than 100KB (a cheap guard that skips large files).
- At least 1 patterns in ( $x* ) must match.
- At least 2 patterns in the rule must match.
- At least 4 patterns in the rule must match.
