Recently, Microsoft unveiled a new operating system called Windows 10. As it is highly expected that Windows 10 will play a significant role in the Internet of Things era, the Portable Executable (PE) format is drawing attention even more widely than before. PE is a standard file format for executables and object code used in MS Windows operating systems. Since a number of various malwares have widely spread by exploiting vulnerabilities of PE structure, the need of automatic tools for PE-malware detection is being magnified. In this paper, we designed and developed a command-line PE file analysis tool using Python language for automatic detection of Windows malware.
