What is PE Explorer?

PE Explorer is a feature-rich portable executable (PE) file viewer, editor, analyzer, and debugger for Windows. It enables developers, reverse engineers, and malware analysts to examine the structure and components of EXE, DLL, OCX, SYS, and other PE file formats in great depth.

With PE Explorer, you can view and edit a file's header information, sections, resources, imported/exported functions, manifest, and metadata. It provides extensive analysis of PE files including unpacking, disassembly, debugging, scanning for anomalies, and more. Useful tools are included such as resource editors, a DLL/OCX extractor, a disassembler, and a dependency walker.

Key features include:

• Portable app requiring no installation
• Intuitive user interface with multiple panels
• Dumping files from memory for analysis
• Powerful disassembler for analysis and editing
• Extensive PE header analysis and editing options
• Automated malware detection based on anomalies
• Integration with debuggers for runtime analysis
• Scripting and plug-in support for advanced tasks

With its depth of inspection and modification capabilities, PE Explorer is invaluable for reverse engineering Windows binaries, analyzing malware specimens, developing shellcode, and other low-level Windows development and analysis activities.
