A cross-platform desktop application built with Electron and Python for interactive file analysis.
It allows drag-and-drop or multi-select file input and uses a Python backend to inspect executables, archives, documents, and PDFs.
- Drag-and-drop or dialog-based file input
- Native file icon extraction
- Dark/light mode toggle with persistent theme
- Type-specific analysis for:
- PE (Windows executables)
- PDFs
- Office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
- Archives (ZIP, RAR, 7z)
- Entropy calculation, macro detection, packing analysis
- Visual results with collapsible sections and file-type-specific data
- Fully portable build with compiled Python backend
- Electron (Frontend GUI)
- Node.js (IPC and shell integration)
- Python (Nuitka-compiled) for backend analysis logic
