Detects PE files exhibiting behavior consistent with LokiBot malware, specifically the use of a custom CRC32-variant hash function with a XOR polynomial of 0x4358AD54 for runtime API resolution. This technique is used to evade static import analysis by resolving Windows APIs dynamically via hashed identifiers.
