Upon opening a malware sample in PeStudio the user is presented with the Main' tab. The user is then presented with a number of tabs that provide varying information that PeStudio has pulled out of the sample Main Tab Double-clicking the desktop icon opens the tool, to start investigating a piece of malware simply drag the malware sample into the tool. What I love about PeStudio is how easy it is to use and the clear, simple layout of the tool.

In this article, I will cover what PeStudio is, some of the key features and how you can use it to begin analyzing malware. This is great for the initial triage of a malware sample. It provides so much information about the sample and gives me a wealth of information for me to start building out my report.

Whenever I begin analysing a piece of malware, I will always load it into PeStudio first. PeStudio is a tool used for statically analyzing malware and is one of my favourite tools for malware analysis.
