PE Explorer is a very handy tool for those who want to dive into executables. A great tool for detecting viruses, malware, and other executable nasties, you can use the Digital Signature Viewer to review and validate the Microsoft Authenticode digital signature, if present, in the loaded executable file. This is a powerful way to verify the publisher and the integrity of the executable.

PE Explorer gives you a clear view of portable executable (PE) file structure and all of the resources in the file. It tells you just about every little detail you could possibly want to know about a PE file. Besides being an effective resource editor, PE Explorer also gives you an API function syntax lookup, dependency scanner, section editor, and an easy-to-use disassembler for generating annotated code dumps.

PE Explorer: Poke around in the dangerous world of Portable EXEs.


You can look at all of the entry points that the file exports for other applications to call, or all of the stuff that it imports from other applications. If you like, you can also disassemble the PE file into assembly code (though this may not do you any good unless you know assembler already!). PE Explorer can perform either task equally well.

I was trying out your tool PE Explorer that I saw in my book and I found it very useful for exploring my computer and learning about it. One thing I really like about PE Explorer is the Dependency Scanner, I find it useful to find out what a program is up to or doing by tracking down what a program is accessing and it gives me a better understanding of my computer and the files on it.
