Geared toward experienced users, NPE File Analyzer is an advanced software utility that gives you the possibility to analyze and edit executable files. It features many options.
Simple GUI with many kinds of PE exe information
Packed in a classical-looking interface, NPE File Analyzer doesn't put emphasis on looks, yet it's quite easy to get around.After opening a PE executable file, you can study the entry point, image base, size of image, base of code and data, section and file alignment, time and date stamp, number of sections, EP section, linker version, subsystem, characteristics, size of optional header, size of headers, and checksum. All these details can be edited.
Analyze and edit data
Furthermore, you can examine each section to add, edit, delete or align headers, modify code via hexadecimal display, fill sections with data, as well as import or export headers to file.The software application also lets you investigate data directories, namely information about the RVA and size of the import and export table, resource, exception, security, relocations, debug, copyright, and so on.It's possible to edit hex code, manage active processes, adjust the time and date stamps, calculate file locations, find and add code caves, dump the fix, extract PE, realign the file, remove base relocations, hash files, compare PE files, extract or change icons, as well as view strings.Plugins are supported to enhance NPE File Analyzer's functionality. Plus, you can integrate it into the Windows Explorer shell extension for quick access, as well as ask it to automatically launch at every system startup until further notice.
Evaluation and conclusion
No error dialogs popped up in our tests, and the software tool didn't hang or crash. Its impact on the overall performance of the machine was minimal, since it needed low CPU and RAM to work properly. Its interface could use some improvements in the visual department, though.Plus, the program is not very intuitive. Nevertheless, NPE File Analyzer comes loaded with rich features to help you analyze and edit PE executable files in detail.
