PE iDentifier 0.7 Beta by snaker & Qwerton
------------------------------------------
PEiD detects most common packers, cryptors and compilers for PE files. It can currently detect around 260 different signatures in PE files.
PEiD is special in some aspects when compared to other identifiers already out there!
1. It has a superb GUI and the interface is really intuitive and simple.
2. Detection rates are amongst the best given by any other identifier.
3. Special scanning modes for *advanced* detections of modified and unknown files.
4. Shell integration, Commandline support, Always on top and Drag'n'Drop capabilities.
There are 3 different and unique scanning modes in PEiD.
The *Default Method* scans the PE files at their Entry Point for all documented signatures. This is what all other identifiers also do.
The *Hardcore Method 1* scans the PE file's Entry Point containing section for all the documented signatures. This ensures detection of around 80% of modified and scrambled files.
The *Hardcore Method 2* does a complete scan of the entire PE file for the documented signatures. You should use this mode as a last option as the small signatures often tend to occur a lot in many files and so erroneous ouputs may result.
The scanners inbuilt scanning techniques has error control methods which ensure generally correct outputs even if the last mode is chosen. The first two methods produce almost instantaneous outputs but the last method is a bit slow due to obvious reasons!
We intend to update the signatures quite often to keep pace with this ever involving scene
Please report all bugs and ideas to Qwerton -> qwaci@gmx.net
Please report new signatures or packer info to snaker -> snaker@myrealbox.com
ALL SUGGESTIONS, IDEAS, BUG REPORTS AND CRITICS ARE WELCOME.
