PERE is a lightweight Windows-focused static analysis engine for Portable Executable (PE) files. It inspects imported APIs, examines digital signature metadata, analyzes section structure, and computes a heuristic risk score to help triage suspicious binaries.
.exe and .dll filesunsigned, selfsigned, valid)--timestamps)coloramaThis tool is not a replacement for endpoint detection and response (EDR) systems. It is a lightweight, rapid triage utility for inspecting PE files (for example binaries that may have been dropped, modified, or used in an attack). Use it as a first-pass aid during in - follow up with full EDR, dynamic analysis, and forensic procedures for definiti.
1. Clone or download the repository.
2. Create a en (recommended):
3. Install dependencies:
Run the main analyzer with the target directory path:
Optional arguments:
--extensions: comma-separated extensions to scan (default: exe,dll)--timestamps: include file and PE timestamp details, and score anomalous dates--json: sa to a JSON report--output: JSON output filename (default: report.json)Example:
demo.webm
main.py scans the provided directory and invokes analyzer.analyze_file() for each matching file.analyzer.py loads the PE file using pefile, extracts imported functions, inspects Authenticode signature metadata, analyzes section structure, and optionally gathers timestamp metadata.rules.py scores detected APIs, signature data, section anomalies, and timestamp anomalies when --timestamps is enabled, generating findings and a combined risk score.engine.py currently forwards the e result from rules.py and can be extended for future scoring enhancements.PERE uses grouped API scoring and heuristic detections such as:
, WriteProcessMemory)CreateRemoteThread, OpenProcess)CreateProcessA, ShellExecuteW)LoadLibrary, GetProcAddress)RegSet, RegCreateKeyEx)Special pattern detections include:
Injection ChainStealth InjectionDynamic API ResolutionO DetectedPacker / Obfuscator SignatureTrusted signed binaries from selected publishers can bypass scoring.
