Unable to open PE files

[chubbymaggie]

Hi,

I am unable to load pe files. The reason is that pe.sections[section_idx].get_data() always returns null. But after going through pefile library, I fixed the problem by givng the virtualaddress as the parameter for get_data().
This is the fix:
self._section_text = pe.sections[section_idx].get_data(pe.sections[section_idx].VirtualAddress)

This hack works fine for me now . I don't know whether this is correct?

Thanks.

Regards,
Maggie

Hi,

Regarding your hack, it seems to be correct.

I try it with several PE files and I couldn't reproduce your problem. Also, I check what get_data was loading with and without passing parameters and, in both cases, it's the same.
