What it does

Detect It Easy is a cross-platform static file-identification tool using format parsers, signatures and extensible analysis modules.

Detect It Easy can help decide what kind of file an analyst is dealing with before choosing a deeper tool. Its README describes format-aware parsing and signature-based inspection for malware-analysis work. Treat an identified packer or format as a lead rather than a malware verdict. The project explicitly warns that detectiteasy.com is unaffiliated and directs downloads to its repository releases. Keeping the official source route is useful for a tool used on an analysis workstation.
