Win32 DeadCode Virus Detection
This rule detects the 'DeadCode' virus by looking for specific byte sequences at the entry point of a PE file and a unique marker within the file. It checks for four distinct patterns: three at the entry point combined with a marker at offset 0x40, or two specific byte sequences in the body of the file. The rule uses the 'pe' YARA module to identify Portable Executable files and their entry points.
