✨ PESEC ✨

okay so bestie, you've stumbled into the pesec(1) manual page — that's the General Commands Manual, the one and only 💖 — and honestly? it's giving security detective. let's get into it.

🎀 NAME 🎀

pesec</purpose> — check for protections in PE files. that's it, that's the gig. she looks at a PE file and tells you what security features are (or aren't 😭) in there.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pesec [OPTIONS]...  pefile

so like. you give her some options (if you want, she's not needy), you give her a pefile, and she goes off. periodt.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

pesec checks a PE file for security features. lowkey her whole personality. 💅

she's part of pev, the PE file analysis toolkit — so if you vibe with her, the whole squad is waiting for you.

and pefile? that's a PE32/PE32+ executable or dynamic linked library file. so basically a .exe or a .dll. that's the thing you're handing over. no cap. 🫶

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -f, --format <text|csv|xml|html> — change the output format. default is text. so if you want her to speak csv, xml or html, just say so. she's flexible like that ✨
  • -c, --certoutform <text|pem> — specifies the certificate output format. default: text. if you're a pem girlie, she got you 🌈
  • -o, --certout <filename> — specifies the output filename to write certificates to. default: stdout, aka she just yells them into your terminal like a main character 🗣️
  • -V, --version — show version. quick lil flex. 👑
  • --help — show help. she'll explain herself. iconic behavior honestly.

🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓

search for protections in putty.exe:

$ pesec putty.exe

that's the whole vibe. one file, one command, instant knowledge. slay. 🔥

🙈 REPORTING BUGS 🙈

found a bug? first of all, please, check the latest development code — she may have already fixed it, bestie — and then report at:

https://github.com/mentebinaria/readpe/issues
