Access to IMAGE_SECTION_HEADER

How to Access the IMAGE_SECTION_HEADER structure

after initialize the PE class, you can get access the IMAGE_SECTION_HEADER structure by calling GetImageSectionHeader() method. by calling this function, you get the object of ImageSectionHeader class, so you can retrieve IMAGE_SECTION_HEADER fields, changed or modify them.

Note: Every field in ImageSectionHeader class has two overload method. first overload is getter function to just retrieve the specific field and second overload is a setter for change and modify the specific field.

#include <iostream>
#include <POEX.h> // include POEX header

int main()
{
    auto pe = POEX::PE(L"1.exe");

    // Access to Image Nt Header
    auto sh = pe.GetImageSectionHeader();

    // print all section name
    for (size_t i = 0; i < sh.size(); i++)
        std::cout << "Section Name: " << sh[i].Name() << std::endl;

    // change first section name
    sh[0].Name(".abcd");

    // print all section name after changing
    for (size_t i = 0; i < sh.size(); i++)
        std::cout << "Section Name: " << sh[i].Name() << std::endl;

    return 0;
}
