This is a class library for reading the Portable Executable file format convering all the major data sections including:
- Core Headers (DOS, File, Optional)
- Section Table
- Debug Directory
- Relocations
- Imports
- Delayed Imports
- Exports
- Resources
- TLS
- Load Configuration
- Certificates
- .NET
For help getting started please see the wiki. Any suggestions for improvements and ideas welcome.
Stable builds are available as NuGet packages. You can install it via the Package Manager or via the Package Manager Console:
Install-Package Workshell.PE
Install-Package Workshell.PE.Resources
You begin by calling PortableExecutableImage.FromFileAsync(string) to load the executable image, such as:
var image = await PortableExecutableImage.FromFileAsync("user32.dll");
You can then retireve information from the image. Some information is retrieved in a direct manor, like a lot of the core header information, for example:
var imageBase = image.NTHeaders.OptionalHeader.ImageBase;
And some information is indirect via classes that work on the image. If you wanted all the exports for example:
var exports = await Exports.GetAsync(image);
You can then iterate each export:
foreach(var export in exports)
{
Console.WriteLine(export.Name);
}
At present there is no real documentation so the best option is to explore the source code and experiment!
If you have questions please do get in touch we're always happy to help.
