Malware is one of the most prevalent and most insidious forms of cyber attack. Any item can be separately selected and saved to a file, allowing the possibility of further analysis.
PEStudio analyzes the resources of the file being analysed and detects embedded items (e.g. icons, strings, dialogs, menus) and custom data. Resources sections are commonly used to host different Windows built-in items (e.g. PEStudio shows the intent and purpose of the application analyzed.Įxecutable files typically not only contain code but also many kinds of data types. The blacklist file can be customized and extended according to your own needs. PEStudio also includes an XML file that is used to blacklist functions (e.g. PEStudio retrieves the libraries and the functions used by the image.

PEStudio helps you to define the trustworthiness of the application being analysed. Among the indicators, PEStudio shows when an image is compressed using UPX or MPRESS. By editing the XML file, one can customize the Indicators shown and their severity. The classifications are based on XML files provided with PEStudio. Indicators show the potential and the anomalies of the application being analysed. Indicators are grouped into categories according to their severity. PEStudio shows Indicators as a human-friendly result of the analysed image. Since the executable file being analyzed is never started, you can inspect any unknown or malicious executable with no risk. The goal of PEStudio is to detect these anomalies, provide Indicators and score the Trust for the executable being analyzed. In doing so, it generally presents anomalies and suspicious patterns. Malicious executable often attempts to hide its malicious behavior and to evade detection. PEStudio is a unique tool that performs the static investigation of 32-bit and 64-bit executable.
