PE Lab

Additional details about a given executable can be uncovered by accessing the Properties menu, but that kind of data is rudimentary at best for power users. If you're looking for more, it's best to utilize a third-party solution to help you with that.

PE Lab comes as a functional solution to meet those needs. Besides providing some more details about the properties of an executable, it also allows users to look through its data configuration by way of the numerous sections within the interface, use the built-in HEX viewer, and more.

The process to start viewing an executable's data is simple enough: open it through the program's interface, and on you go. You'll be greeted by a few general properties concerning the file, such as its size, path, version, signature, size of code and data, as well as its respective sections.

There's essentially a lot to look at, but to make things simpler, the software divides the different types of data into categories. You can thus freely access the sections of the executable: from its exceptions, imports, and relocations to its headers, and more. The elements from each of these sections will be presented in a straightforward manner, as any relevant values and descriptions will be displayed on the interface.

Clicking the F7 hotkey upon selecting an entry will engage the built-in Hex viewer, which will present the data in hexadecimal format. You can select certain blocks to make navigation easier.

The software will also feature a Resources section for your executable. Selecting that section will reveal raw data about the inputted file. You'll also be able to view all of its icons, be they cursor, menu, dialog, or other such graphics.

Overall, PE Lab makes for a solid and practical choice for peering inside executable files, so users users can analyze any data they wish without a worry.
