Pascal security tool
I've been working on a simple security research tool (https://nofuss.co.za/tools/ppee/) that runs in the browser. Since Web Assembly is already sandboxed, it makes it reasonably safe. It also doesn't try to execute the EXE or DLL, but rather just peek into it and extract some header and string information. Oh and also tries to figure out which dependencies it has and what calls it makes. So one could see that something is calling the network, or accessing the registry etc. Based on the strings, you might see it's make calls to somewhere you didn't expect.
It's not done, I am learning more and more about the PE file format, but it's already pretty useful if you know what you're looking for.
