💅 PEPACK(1) — like, the manual page for pepack, bestie

okay so this is pepack(1) from the General Commands Manual section, and we're about to make packer detection make sense, no cap ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

pepack — check if a PE file is packed 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

pepack [OPTIONS]...  pefile

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so pepack is out here doing the most: it uses a pre-defined database to check packer signature patterns inside a PE file. 🔍

if no database is set? it doesn't just give up, bestie — it tries to identify if the executable is packed. main character energy fr fr.

oh and btw, it's part of pev, the PE file analysis toolkit 👑

pefile is a PE32/PE32+ executable or a dynamically linked library file. that's the thing you're pointing at. 🫶

💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • -d, --database <database> — use this database file instead. (default: ./userdb.txt) 📂
  • -f, --format <text|csv|xml|html> — change the output format, obviously. (default: text) 💅
  • -V, --version — show the version and dip out. ✌️
  • --help — show help. that's it, that's the vibe. 🙈

🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓

check sample.exe for packer signatures:

$ pepack sample.exe
