Detect It Easy

File Type and Packer Detection

Description

Handed an unknown exe, you want to know what it was built with, whether it is packed and which protector it uses, and the usual routine is a handful of separate tools. Detect It Easy puts that in one window: drop the file in and a few seconds later you see the compiler, linker, language, libraries and packer.

Detection runs on an editable script-based signature database and adds heuristic scanning to guess at obfuscation and anti-debugging. Beyond PE it handles ELF, Mach-O and archives, which is why reverse engineers and malware analysts often start here.

Features



One-step identification: drag in a file and it lists compilers, languages, libraries, packers and protectors.

Heuristics: flags obfuscation, anti-debug tricks and high-entropy packed data instead of relying only on known signatures.

Inspection views: built-in hex, strings, import and export tables, entropy and memory map.

Extensible rules: signatures are scripts you can write or edit, and a command-line edition suits batch jobs.

Many formats: PE, ELF, Mach-O and more, with a portable build that needs no installation.
