What is PE?

PE typically refers to Portable Executable. It is a file format for executables, object code, DLLs and others, used in 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows operating systems. It's a data structure that encapsulates the information necessary for the Windows OS loader to manage the wrapped executable code. This includes information about code, data, resources, and the program's entry point.
