Compatible with Windows and Linux (tested on MSVC++ 2008, 2010, GCC 4.4 on Linux). Currently tested on little-endian systems only and might not support big-endian ones.

Library has many usage samples and is well unit-tested.

Library is free to use in both commertial and non-commertial projects. You can also modify and redistribute it. If you are using it, please, do not forget to specify the name or other copyright of PE Bliss somewhere in the description of your project.

A huge update is coming soon! Possible new features of the future update:

• more high-level classes and functions to work with PE resources;

• high-level .NET PE parsing (metadata tables, signatures, resources);

• C++/CLI wrapper, which allows .NET developers to use the library in C# or VB.NET projects;

• more samples and tests;

• bugfixes.

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