PE Bliss

Cross-Platform PE(Portable Executable) Manipulating Library

• C++

• Compatibility

  • Little-endian systems only, might not support big-endian ones.
  • Windows, tested on Visual Studio 2013 Express
  • Linux, tested on GCC 4.8.4
  • OSX, tested on LLVM 7.0.0

• Useful usage samples and well unit-tested.

Features

• Read 32- and 64-bit PE files (PE, PE+) for Windows, work similar with both formats
• Create PE/PE+ binaries from scratch
• Rebuild 32- and 64-bit PE files
• Work with directories and headers
• Convert addresses
• Read and write PE sections
• Read and write imports
• Read and write exports (forwarders supported)
• Read and write relocations
• Read and write resources
• Read and write TLS (including callbacks and raw data)
• Read and write image config (including SE Handlers and Lock Prefix addresses)
• Read basic .NET information
• Read and write bound imports
• Read exception directory (PE+ only)
• Read debug directory and extended debug information
• Calculate entropy
• Change file alignment
• Change base address
• Work with DOS Stub and Rich overlay
• High-level resource reading: bitmaps, icons, cursors, version info, string and message tables
• High-level resource editing: bitmaps, icons, cursors, version info

Library doesn't use WinAPI and doesn't execute PE files, so it's safe to use it with suspicious binaries.

TODO

• Unit-test

  • test on big-endian

• use CMake instead ???
