Bit Detector

Bit Detector is a software tool which provides a simple means of displaying information about executables and capturing a screenshot of the main window.

This utility is portable, which means that the installation process is not a prerequisite. You can copy the program files to an external data device, such as a pen drive, and thus run it on the fly, on any computer you have been granted access to.

It is also important to keep in mind that Bit Detector is not going to add new items to the Windows registry or hard drive, without your approval, and it will not leave any kind of traces behind after its removal.

The interface you are met with presents quite a cluttered design, as the main window contains most of the options available, yet they organized quite efficiently and therefore, all types of users will find their way around it with great ease, including beginners.

It supports EXE, DLL, OCX, SCR, CPL and SYS file extensions, and they can be uploaded with the help of the incorporated file browser, as well as the “drag and drop” function. The program is going to display information such as file offset, linker, entry point, first bytes, subsystem, EP section and compiler used.

Further details about the PE header, directories and sections can be displayed in a different window, while it is also possible to create a password-protected ZIP with all the aforementioned data, to a custom location on the hard drive.

Last, but not least you can take a snapshot of the utility’s screen and save it to the computer in a BMP format, view the system’s MAC and IP address, as well as calculate the hash (MD2, MD4, MD5 and SHA) algorithm of the executable.

To conclude, Bit Detector is an efficient and well-rounded piece of software, which does not put a strain on the computer’s performance. The interface is accessible, the response time is good and there are sufficient options to keep you tinkering for quite a while.
