PE Anatomist

PE Anatomist is a lightweight and super user-friendly software. It gives users and developers a peek into all the structures found in PE files. These are those Portable Executable files we see for executables, object code, DLLs, and they work on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows.

Understanding PE File Structures

The structures you can explore include headers, sections, COFF symbols, imports, exports, resources, bound imports, delayed imports, base relocations, PE authenticode signatures, load config directory, debug info, TLS data, exceptions data, .NET details, and rich signatures. Pretty cool right?

User-Friendly Experience

This application is designed to be super easy to use! No need for any third-party stuff or even installation. Just download the archive, unzip it, and run the app directly from its executable file. Then you can load any PE file you want and check out all the important data structures with minimal hassle.

Simple Navigation with Tabs

The app keeps things practical by organizing all its features into tabs at the top of the main window. Once you load a PE file, you'll first see the Headers tab. Here’s where PE Anatomist shows off various structure fields like IMAGE_DOS_HEADER and IMAGE_NT_HEADERS along with their values and descriptions.

Diving Deeper: Sections & Resources

If you look at the Sections tab next, you'll find long section names along with their entropy calculations. The Resources tab is packed with more info about different resource types and gives you a detailed view of their structure too. Overall, everything follows a simple WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) style which makes navigation easy-peasy!

A Must-Have Tool for Developers

So to sum it all up: PE Anatomist is an incredibly handy tool that’s perfect for anyone who wants to quickly analyze the sometimes tricky structure of PE files. Whether you're a developer or just curious about these files’ insides—this app has got your back!
