peutils

peutils

Overview

Use peutils when Binary Ninja needs help with Windows PE structure details: imports, sections, addresses, or convenience helpers that make PE triage faster.

Quick Workflow

1. Open the executable in Binary Ninja.
2. Use peutils when the question is specifically about PE structure or import-related analysis.
3. Stabilize imports and section understanding before exporting, diffing, or signature generation.
4. Capture any corrected addresses, names, or import insights in notes before switching tools.

Common Mistakes

• Using peutils as a generic Binary Ninja replacement instead of a PE-focused helper.
• Comparing or exporting binaries before import and section understanding is stable enough.
• Forgetting that PE cleanup is often a prerequisite for better diffing results.
