MZReveal: Attackers use a variety of tricks to disguise malicious executable files. Their goal is to trick unsuspecting users into running them on their computers.
A common method of hiding known file types in Windows is to use the Right to Left Override trick, which reverses part of the file name without modifying the file itself.
Today's software can detect some of these attempts and block them, but there are also attempts that are not immediately detected.
The program is portable and you can run it from Windows Explorer without installation.
The scan is very fast, it took less than half a second to scan more than 3000 files, for example.
The results are displayed on the command line screen, but the window closes seconds later, meaning you can't see them on your screen.
MZRevealer immediately after the scan that you can open with any text editor to check the results.
The log file lists all hidden executable files and their path on the system. Note that the program also scans for PE (Portable Executable) so it will not only scan for .exe and .dll files but also for many other formats, such as screensavers and drivers.
If something seems suspicious, you can scan it locally or on Virustotalto make sure your file is clean and not malicious.
The developer states that the program will begin to be updated regularly in the future with additional options.
