PEV PE32 file analysis

PEV - PE32 file analysis

pev is a mighty PE file analysis toolkit, which allows you to analyse and/or extract Windows exe files easily.

tinkergame allows you to use multiple of its tools to automatically extract data (and files) from the corresponding game exe: All tools can be enabled per game separately under the Tools category of the Game Menu.

Currently supported tools are:

• peldd (shows library dependencies for a given PE file)
• pepack (search packers in PE files)
• peres (extract binary data of resources)
• pescan (search for suspicious things in PE files)
• pesec (checks for security features in PE files)
• pestr (search for strings in PE files)
• readpe (show PE file headers)

(see project page for details)

Every enabled tool will automatically extract its data into its corresponding subdirectory under ~/.config/tinkergame/games/pev/$TOOLNAME/$SteamAppId/ even before the tinkergame Wait Requester appears. The tools are started forked (so using &) and therefore do not block the further progress; they are also skipped automatically if the destination file already exists.

All supported tools can be used automatically on the game exe, by dropping the game into a "PEV" Steam Collection.
