Which tool is described as a free tool that provides details about Windows executable files?

• A. BinText
• B. Strings
• C. PE Explorer
• D. Netstat

Answer: (A)

BinText is a freeware utility that lets you inspect Windows executable files by exposing strings and other embedded data inside PE files. This makes it especially useful for quick analysis of what’s inside a binary, such as version info, resources, and readable text that can hint at purpose or origin. Strings, while free, focuses on pulling out readable text from binaries and doesn’t offer the broader set of details you get from BinText. PE Explorer is a commercial tool with more extensive features for PE analysis, and Netstat is a networking tool unrelated to examining executable files.
