Archtype Eli Fulkerson

Archtype.exe is a command-line utility designed to analyze executable files (".exe") and determine their architecture, specifically whether they are compiled for 32-bit or 64-bit systems. Beyond identifying the architecture, Archtype extracts detailed information such as the build date, presence of debugging symbols, and specific flags from the COFF header.

Key Features:

1. Architecture Detection: Quickly identifies if an executable is compiled for i386 (32-bit), x86_64 (64-bit), or IA64 (Itanium).
2. Build Date Extraction: Reveals the exact date and time the executable was created.
3. Symbol Information: Checks whether debugging symbols are included in the file.
4. COFF Header Flags Parsing: Displays characteristics such as whether relocations were stripped, if it's an executable image, or if it's large address aware.
5. Wildcard Support: Allows batch processing of multiple files using wildcards (* and ?).
6. Version Information: Provides detailed version information when requested.

Audience & Benefit:

Ideal for developers, testers, and reverse engineers who need to analyze executables quickly and efficiently without the need for disassembling or complex tools. Archtype simplifies the process of understanding an executable's properties, saving time and streamlining workflows.

Archtype can be installed via winget, making it easy to integrate into your development environment.
