The PE format

The PE (Portable Executable) format is a file format developped by Microsoft, most commonly used by .exe and .dll files (executables and dynamic-linked libraries).

PE files are divided into two parts ; the header, and the sections. The header bears the details of the PE file itself, while the sections (with names reminiscent of Assembly) contain the content of the executable.
