PE iDentifier 0.8 by snaker & Qwerton
-------------------------------------

PEiD detects most common packers, cryptors and compilers for PE files. It can currently detect more than 300 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.
5. Multiple file and directory scanning.
6. Task viewer and controller.
7. Generic OEP Finder module.


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 f 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 outputs may result.

The scanner''s inbuilt scanning techniques have error control methods which generally ensure 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!


Task Viewing / Control Module
-----------------------------

You can scan currently running tasks with PEiD. The files are scanned from the memory. Processes can also be terminated. You can also optionally dump a module and scan the dumped image.


OEP Finding Module
------------------

PEiD uses Generic OEP Finder v0.006 DLL to generically find OEP of packed executables. It works with almost all packers and protectors except a few ( Console mode applications and Armadillo for example ). Please keep in mind that since the technique used is absolutely generic, the OEP returned is a probable one. You should perhaps verify it your self. However most HLL executable OEPs are correctly determined. Please remeber that GENOEP is an experimental project and is sure to contain bugs. Feel free to report bugs and suggestions to us.


Multiple File Scan Module
-------------------------

You can scan multiple files at one go with PEiD. Just drag and drop the files on the PEiD main dialog and the Multiple File Scan Dialog will popup displaying the results. You can keep dragging and droping files onto this dialog as well. It also offers you to choose from the different scanning modes and optionally load a single file in PEiD. It allows you to skip the non PE files so that the list looks clean. You can also scan the contents of a directory choosing files of custom extension if required.



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.
