Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI) — Question 76

An investigator has acquired packed software and needed to analyze it for the presence of malice. Which of the following tools can help in finding the packaging software used?

Answer options

• A. SysAnalyzer
• B. PEiD
• C. Comodo Programs Manager
• D. Dependency Walker

Correct answer: B

Explanation

PEiD is specifically designed to detect various packers, cryptors, and compilers used in software, making it the most suitable tool for this task. While SysAnalyzer and Dependency Walker serve different purposes in analysis and behavior monitoring, and Comodo Programs Manager is focused on program management, they do not directly identify packing software.
