Hello list,

I was wondering if anyone could suggest a package or means to look at any or all of the information from a given executable binary file:

- What compiler compiled it

- What (source) language was it compiled from

- What computer architecture the file was compiled for

- How many hardware bits was the file intended for (eg. 32-bit or 64-bit encoding)

- Endianness


If any of the above a simply not possible because of the nature all binary files, it would be helpful to know that too.

Thanks.

Also you could try and analyze the output of the following 

readelf -a <executable>

ldd <executable>

strings <executable>

For example most of the files compiled with g++ has a dependability on libstdc++.so.6
