DIE-engine

GUI & console sources for Detect It Easy(DiE): https://github.com/horsicq/Detect-It-Easy/

Optional PEiD engine

The PEiD scan engine is disabled by default. Enable it for a CMake build with -DWITH_PEID=ON; this defines USE_PEID, compiles the XPEID/peid_widget sources, exposes the PEiD controls, and installs the peid database directory. Packaging scripts use the matching X_WITH_PEID=ON environment switch and forward it to CMake. With the default OFF, PEiD code, controls, help entries, and package files are omitted.

Updating the signature database

die-update checks and installs the database published in the current-database release. It uses the same Scan/Die/Database/Main/Path and Scan/Die/Database/Main/UpdateUrl settings as Detect It Easy, leaves db_custom untouched, stages and validates a new db before replacing the old one, and writes db/die-update.ini only after the replacement succeeds.

die-update --check             check only (exit 1 when an update is available)
die-update                     install an available update
die-update --help              list paths, sources, JSON and other options
diec --checkupdate [-D path]   run die-update --check and return its exit code
diec --update [-D path]        run die-update and return its exit code

The GUI provides Update database beside its other main-window actions. The operation runs in a separate process and the scan database is reloaded after a successful update. Portable copies read die.ini beside the programs; other copies use the native NTInfo/die settings store. Read-only installations put updates in the per-user database folder, which the Qt frontends prefer on the next load.
