PortEx is a Java library for static malware analysis of Portable Executable files. Its focus is on PE malformation robustness, and anomaly detection. PortEx is written in Java and Scala, and targeted at Java applications.
For more information have a look at PortEx Wiki and the Documentation
PortexAnalyzer CLI is a command line tool that runs the library PortEx under the hood. If you are looking for a readily compiled command line PE scanner to analyse files with it, download it from here PortexAnalyzer.jar
The GUI version is available here: PortexAnalyzerGUI
You can include PortEx to your project by adding the following Maven dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.github.katjahahn</groupId>
<artifactId>portex_2.12</artifactId>
<version>4.0.0</version>
</dependency>
To use a local build, add the library as follows:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.github.katjahahn</groupId>
<artifactId>portex_2.12</artifactId>
<version>4.0.0</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>$PORTEXDIR/target/scala-2.12/portex_2.12-4.0.0.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>
Add the dependency as follows in your build.sbt
libraryDependencies += "com.github.katjahahn" % "portex_2.12" % "4.0.0"
PortEx is build with sbt
To simply compile the project invoke:
$ sbt compile
To create a jar:
$ sbt package
To compile a fat jar that can be used as command line tool, type:
$ sbt assembly
You can create an eclipse project by using the sbteclipse plugin. Add the following line to project/plugins.sbt:
addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.sbteclipse" % "sbteclipse-plugin" % "2.4.0")
Generate the project files for Eclipse:
$ sbt eclipse
Import the project to Eclipse via the Import Wizard.
I develop PortEx and PortexAnalyzer as a hobby in my freetime. If you like it, please consider buying me a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/struppigel

Graphical interface for PortEx, a Portable Executable and Malware Analysis Library
I test this program on Linux and Windows. But it should work on any OS with JRE version 9 or higher.
I will be including more and more features that PortEx already provides.
These features include among others:
Some of these features are already provided by PortexAnalyzer CLI version, which you can find here: PortexAnalyzer CLI
