More Info

pe-reader README

VSCode extension for reading basic information about PE executable files (DLL, EXE, MUI, ...).

Features

Can display imports/exports, basic characteristics and browse resources. Right-click on a resource to save it.

Requirements

Not really:) The extension will also probably work will VSCode older then the version published.

Notice that while this extension is currently only for Windows formats, running it on Windows is not mandatory. This extension does not use any windows-only modules.

Extension Settings

Not yet, when more features will come, I am sure settings will follow.

Known Problems

If you find them, please let me know. Not promising anything though:)

Features in Planning

Adding the executable icon to the window. Parsing simular information for ELF format (maybe will need renaming then).
