FileAlyzer Portable

As an individual, you can only get to know so little about any kind of file with the default set of tools. However, specialized processing and data analysis heavily depend on applications like FileAlyzer Portable to provide almost all there is to know about any kind of file, ranging from Hash codes, to virus infestations.

As the name clearly points out, this is the edition of FileAlyzer you can run right after download, without having to go through a setup process to make it work. Moreover, this means you can carry it on a thumb drive to use on other computers as well, without worrying that system registries get affected, or altered.

Running the application brings up a browse dialog, so you can start your work right away. You can target any kind of file, but results you get depend on the type. In other words, the application can recognize, and process different types of files, and provide related details. For instance, tags, and audio player are dedicated tabs for sound files, images come with a preview tab, programming files show dependencies, classes, and functions, but regular files also provide enough details by default.

As soon as you select a file, it can take a little while to scan it, but there’s a progress bar which lets you know when it’s done. General details like location, size, version, several types of Hash code, attributes, and date settings are shown, but you’re free to access all the other tabs like Hex editor, anomalies, OpenSBI configuration, map for built-in GPS coordinates, bitmap, an abundance of Hash algorithms, and even verification through submission on VirusTotal.

The application gives you the possibility to open more files in different windows. This comes in handy mostly because of the built-in compare function which can be triggered when multiple instances are active. What’s more, you can export all data to several file types such as HTML, TXT, and XML for later analysis, or logging.

Bottom line is that files hold a stunningly larger array of details than meets the eye, and if you need special, and technical analysis for any kind, then FileAlyzer Portable is the way to go. Although it can provide a mesmerizing amount of details, the interface is neatly organized, allowing you to quickly understand, handle, and export all data you need.
