The command "readpe --all-sections ${path-to-executable}" is used to analyze the sections or segments of an executable file in the PE (Portable Executable) format.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "readpe" refers to a specific tool or program that performs analysis on PE files.
- "--all-sections" is an option or flag provided to the "readpe" tool, indicating that it should display information about all sections within the specified executable file.
- "${path-to-executable}" is a placeholder representing the actual path to the executable file you want to analyze. You need to replace it with the appropriate file path.
When you run this command, the "readpe" tool will read the provided executable file and display detailed information about each section within it. PE files typically contain multiple sections, such as code, data, resources, import/export tables, etc. The command allows you to examine the characteristics, sizes, and other attributes of all these sections, providing insights into the structure and layout of the executable.
