PEiD

PEiD is a Windows program, from open source, that will help you to identify packers and compilers in PE files without complications. With this lightweight tool you will be able to detect more than 600 different signatures without having to resort to other more complex programming mechanisms.

Different scanning modes

In PEiD you will find three scanning modes by means of which you will analyze executables in Windows in the simplest way. In particular, with the normal mode you will check the file entry point for documented signatures quickly. Using the "Deep" mode you will extend the search to the contents of the entry point section, with the intention of improving the detection of modified or encrypted files. Finally, through the "Hardcore" mode you will perform a full scan of the file to identify complex modifications. However, the latter process may be slower and may generate less accurate results due to small signatures repeated in multiple files.

Take advantage of specialized modules

PEiD will present you with a task viewer, a fast disassembler and a hexadecimal viewer. All these tools, incorporated by default in the program, will make it even easier for you to analyze executables on your PC. In addition, the utility will offer you heuristic scanning options and a system of plugins such as Generic OEP Finder and Krypto ANALyzer.
