## What it is
A collection of Proof of Concepts demonstrating unusual and edge-case constructs in file formats such as PE executables and PDF documents. It serves as a reference for understanding low-level file format internals and quirks.

## Use cases
- learn how PE executable headers can be manipulated
- study minimal or weird PDF file structures
- research file format edge cases for malware analysis
- find examples of format tricks that evade naive parsers
- reference material when writing a PE or PDF parser
- prepare reverse engineering training material

## When to choose
- you need concrete byte-level examples of PE or PDF format quirks
- you are studying or teaching file format internals and reverse engineering
- you want inspiration for testing the robustness of your own file parsers

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready library or tool for parsing PE or PDF files
- you expect maintained, documented software with a license
- you need general-purpose security scanning or antivirus capabilities

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, reverse-engineering, developer-tools
- domain: security, reverse-engineering, files, pdf, tutorials
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: proof-of-concept, pe-format, file-format, assembly, malware-analysis, educational
