good day

Akmb here

i was just browsing around and wondering what exactly is DIE_ENGINE ?

what is the purpose of it and what can i expect

[horsicq]

Hello! DiE Engine it is source codes for program Detect It Easy(DiE) You could try the program here: https://github.com/horsicq/DIE-engine/release

The description of DiE is here: https://github.com/horsicq/Detect-It-Easy/

thanks for the quick feedback much appreciated will check it out

What do you think about the idea of creating a "Die Server" — a lightweight antivirus-like service that functions similarly to Windows Defender? It would scan for malicious behavior when users download or interact with suspicious files, aiming to catch threats in real-time. @BJNFNE @horsicq. I did create something simple here https://github.com/DevX-Cipher/Die-Features/tree/main/DieService

I like the Idea, maybe we can even implement this into the Telegram bot.

Invalid link :(

@BJNFNE i fixed the link sorry

the Telegram bot. However, one thing to consider is that users would need to have Telegram installed and an active Telegram account to use the service, which might limit accessibility for some—especially in environments where installing apps or creating accounts is restricted. @DosX-dev

Add a Windows Shell Property Sheet Extension for DIE
What do you think about integrating DIE into the Windows Properties dialog? The idea is to provide direct metadata access from Windows Explorer, so when users right-click on a suspicious file and select "Properties", a new tab would appear showing DIE’s analysis — such as packer information, signatures, entropy, and other metadata — without needing to open the full DIE application.

This could streamline workflows for malware analysts and developers by offering quick insights directly in the shell.

ntroduce a Plugin System for DIE
One possible direction to consider is implementing a plugin architecture for DIE. This could significantly reduce the development burden on the core maintainer(s) by allowing the community to contribute additional functionality through plugins.

Community-created plugins that prove to be stable and useful could later be considered for integration into the core application, following proper review. This would allow DIE to evolve more flexibly, support a wider range of formats and analysis techniques, and stay relevant to various use cases — all without bloating the main codebase.

It could also foster a stronger open-source ecosystem around DIE.

Example here not the best https://github.com/DevX-Cipher/Die-Features/tree/main/Plugins
Would this be something worth exploring?

DiE had a plugin system but it was removed due to being unnecessary

@DosX-dev never knew good to know
