PEstudio is a software tool used in malware reverse engineering to analyze executable files and to identify and analyze potential malware. It is a user-friendly application that runs on Windows and can be used to view detailed information about an executable file's characteristics and resources.

PEstudio has several features that make it useful for malware analysis. It can identify suspicious or malicious components within an executable file, such as packed or obfuscated code, malware signatures, or hidden functionality. It also displays the file's import and export tables, which can help to identify the external libraries and functions that the file is using.

PEstudio can also analyze the file's digital signature and show whether the file has been tampered with or signed by a trusted authority. This can help to determine the legitimacy of the file and whether it is safe to run.

Another useful feature of PEstudio is that it can provide a summary of the file's capabilities, such as whether it can create new processes, open network connections, or modify system files. This information can be used to determine the potential impact of the malware and the risk it poses to a system.
