Detects inline hooks, Process Hollowing, Process DoppelgΓ€nging, Reflective DLL Injection, etc.

PE-sieve is meant to be a light-weight engine dedicated to scan a single process at the time. It can be built as an EXE or as a DLL. The DLL version exposes a simple API and can be easily integrated with other applications.
