FileAlyzer

Given the sheer amount of malware on the Internet these days, you can never be too certain whether you just downloaded is malicious, yet pretending to be safe. FileAlyzer is a tool designed to help you make a minute analysis of any given file so you can determine whether it is safe. In addition to eliminating the possibility of opening malware, the tool includes data that can help you understand the purpose of a file.

The application comes with a clean and user-friendly interface that you are going to view as soon as you select the file you want to analyze. The GUI consists of several tabs designed to provide detailed information about the file and its content.

You can get started with the General tab where you can view information about the location, size, creation, hashes and version, if available. You should bear in mind that the tabs opened provide data based on the type of file you are analyzing, so you should not expect to view map information on a file that contains solely text.

The program is designed to work with most of the available file formats, including archives, streams and authenticode signatures. An interesting option is the Security tab, which may be especially interesting for the developers since it includes all the security parameters of the inspected file.

FileAlyzer is a program that has a simple role, namely to allow you to make a simple analysis of files. Not only is the tool capable of showing the file properties and content in hex dump form, but it can also interpret the content as resource structures – graphic, HTML, media, PE or text – so you can determine whether it is safe to run as well as why you found it on your computer.
