Description
In Adam's blog (http://www.hexacorn.com/blog/2016/12/15/pe-section-names-re-visited/), there is an updated list of section names. You may want to review code in https://github.com/avast-tl/retdec/blob/master/src/cpdetect/compiler_detector/heuristics/pe_heuristics.cpp and add new ones, if necessary.

Research direction
Start with src/cpdetect/compiler_detector/heuristics/pe_heuristics.cpp and compare its existing section-name checks with the updated list in Adam's blog post. Review which names are missing and determine whether adding them is warranted; done means the relevant checks reflect the reviewed list and packer detection behavior is preserved.
