Windows PE Packer

What Windows PE Packer is

Windows PE Packer is a free, MIT-licensed command-line project for packing Windows PE files to make analysis more difficult. It transforms the import table, encrypts sections, clears section names, and adds a shell-entry. When a packed file runs, the entry decrypts sections, restores the original import table, and performs relocation. The project says this approach can obstruct disassembly, searches for constant strings, and import-table analysis. Its command takes an input filename and an output filename: PE-Packer <input-file> <output-file>. The current project handles only 32-bit .exe programs and must be configured for 32-bit Windows. Building it requires MASM32, MinGW-w64 with the i686 architecture, and CMake. The maker describes it as a beginner demonstration for learning about the Windows PE format and assembly, and warns that compatibility problems and bugs make it unsuitable for practical use. It is written in C and Intel x86 Assembly. The MIT license provides the software as-is without warranty, and the repository has no releases listed.
