What it is
A cross-platform static inspection tool with native format parsers and a DiE-JS scripting layer. It reports compilers, linkers, packers, and other markers inside Windows, Linux, and macOS binaries.
What it helps with
- Identifying packers and compilers before deeper analysis
- Inspecting unknown binaries without running them
- Extending detection with DiE-JS scripts
- Working the same way on Windows, Linux, and macOS
Who it's for
Malware analysts, reverse engineers, and triage responders.
Worth knowing
Signature databases and the GUI engine ship from the related DIE-engine releases. Packaged builds cover Linux, Windows, and macOS.
Is it only for Windows malware?
No, it identifies files across Windows, Linux, and macOS formats.
What should I use after it?
In our view capa, Ghidra, or Cutter are natural next steps once you know how the file was built.
