    Hi,
    It appears that the signature is

    00000000 C6C22C mov dl, 2C
    00000003 37 aaa
    00000004 60 pushad
    00000005 C1EFD4 shr edi, D4
    00000008 C4922264C66A les edx, dword ptr [edx+6AC66422]
    0000000E E10D loopz 0000001D
    00000010 8A6A5F mov ch, byte ptr [edx+5F]
    00000013 D44E aam (base78)
    00000015 91 xchg eax,ecx
    00000016 10044D00000000 adc byte ptr [2*ecx+104D044D], al

    The beginning & the end of the disassembly may be wrong if the signature
    is not complete. However it doesn't make much sense globally and this
    code is too short to see a potential attack : no memory is written here.
    By the way, where is this signature from ?
