Open source, full-featured, multiplatform command line toolkit to work with and analyze PE (Portable Executables) binaries.
git clone https://github.com/mentebinaria/readpe.git
cd readpe
make
NOTE: You may need to install OpenSSL using your package manager. Examples:
apt install libssl-dev
yum install openssl-devel
cd readpe
sudo make install
echo "/usr/local/lib" | sudo tee /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libpe.conf
sudo ldconfig
cd readpe
CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include/" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/" make
NOTE: You may need to install OpenSSL and PCRE via Homebrew:
brew update
brew install openssl
How to build on Windows (via Cygwin)
cd readpe
make
make zip
NOTE: The following packages must be installed along with your Cygwin:
- gcc-core
- binutils
- make
- zip
- openssl-devel
- git (just to clone the repository and make things easier)
This repository used to be pev. We just moved the repository from a user account to an organization account.
We also renamed the repository as the original name pev stood for PE Version
and does not reflect the current state of this application. We felt that readpe
was a good name as it is the most prominent tool.
Libpe has been absorbed into this repository since the two repositories are tightly coupled and version controling them together made the most logical sense.
Please install OpenSSL for your system. Use a package manager to make things easier. If you're compiling pev in macOS, make sure you've set both CFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables according.
Please check the online documentation for more details.
I get an error while loading shared libraries: libpe.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. How can I fix that?
