Research direction

Start with the rule format documentation linked in the issue and review the Metasploit zutto_dekiru.rb encoder source to understand the encoded content. Use the two listed MD5 samples as validation targets, and consider the work complete when the anti-analysis/packer/zutto-dekiru rule detects the stated capability without unrelated matches.
