About peid

PEiD detects common packers, cryptors, and compilers in Portable Executable (PE) files. A packer or cryptor transforms an executable, while compiler signatures can indicate how the program was built. The tool identifies these patterns through a library of more than 470 signatures, according to the supplied description. PEiD is intended for examining Windows executable files rather than compiling or editing them. The available information does not specify detection methods, signature coverage beyond the stated count, or output details. Its results depend on whether a file matches signatures the tool recognizes. It supports inspection of PE executable signatures. The signature set covers PE files.
