Do you happen to know if this program is simultaneously a PE and an ELF?
Or is it, as I suspect, either one or the other (ie. a copy that runs on
Linux won't run on Windows and vice versa)? And if so, what's
interesting about it?
If this program is indeed both a PE and an ELF, that is very
interesting. But I don't see how that's possible given that they have
different magic numbers.
Best,
Daniel.
