Visualizations of the Portable Executable Format

Author: ero

# Views: 3726

Ive always found that clear diagramming and laying out of complicated information makes it much more accessible and understandable.
When I started looking into the Portable Executable format I found it really helpful to lay out all the headers and structures I was trying to understand, to visualize how they relate to each other and the information they contain.
The resulting diagrams have been available under the corresponding section in OpenRCE for a some time already.

Now, given the feedback I received about some of those, I decided to put them up in an online store so people can get the real posters, high-resolution, updated and redesigned versions of those diagrams.

The Portable Executable Format poster has been updated to display the modified structures of the PE32+ format, while the Portable Executable Format. A File Walkthrough depicts the basic headers on top of a raw byte representation of an actual executable file.
