Puppy is free and tries to be small, fast, nimble and friendly as your puppy!

Puppy is robust against malformed and crafted PE files which makes it handy for reversers, malware researchers and those who want to inspect PE files in more details. All directories in a PE file including Export, Import, Resource, Exception, Certificate(Relies on Windows API), Base Relocation, Debug, TLS, Load Config, Bound Import, IAT, Delay Import and CLR are supported.
  • Both PE32 and PE64 support
  • Parsing exe, dll, sys, scr, drv, cpl, ocx and more
  • Entropy and MD5 calculation of the sections and resource items
  • View strings embedded in files
  • Built in hex editor
  • Edit most of the data directory structures
  • Descriptive information for data members
  • Refresh, Save and Save as menu commands
  • List view columns can sort data in an appropriate way
  • Plugin enabled
There are lots of tools out there for statically analyzing malicious binaries, but they are ordinary tools for ordinary files. Puppy is a lightweight yet strong tool for static investigation of suspicious files. A companion plugin is also provided to take one-click technical information about the file such as its size, entropy, attributes, hashes, version info and so on.

Good find indeed.

Only annoyance so far: lacking tooltips for a few non-intuitive toolbar icons.
Just dropped PPEE's developer a suggestion to remedy this minor lapse.

When I try to open PPEE web-site I got a warning that This Connection is Untrusted.

Looks like their TLS certificate expired this Sunday:
mzrst.com verwendet ein ungültiges Sicherheitszertifikat.
Das Zertifikat ist am Sonntag, 9. Oktober 2016 01:59 abgelaufen. Die aktuelle Zeit ist Sonntag, 9. Oktober 2016 22:56.
They will need to buy a new certificate for their domain. Or switch to a free service like "Let's Encrypt", which will constantly renew your certificate...

Voted.

Tiny PPEE (108kb) has supplanted PEstudio (3Mb) as my preferred PE explorer utility.
Looking forward to future updates.

Thank you for taking your time to add Professional PE Explorer to the database, its place there is well-deserved.
