base on A rewrite of the old legacy software "depends.exe" in C# for Windows devs to troubleshoot dll load dependencies issues. # Dependencies - An open-source modern Dependency Walker [](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/lucasg/dependencies) ### [Download here](https://github.com/lucasg/Dependencies/releases/download/v1.11.1/Dependencies_x64_Release.zip) #### [(If you're running an AV, use this download instead)](https://github.com/lucasg/Dependencies/releases/download/v1.11.1/Dependencies_x64_Release_.without.peview.exe.zip) NB : due to [limitations on /clr compilation](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ffkc918h.aspx), `Dependencies` needs [Visual C++ Redistributable](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads) installed to run properly. <p align="center"> <img alt="Usage Exemple" src="screenshots/UsageExemple.gif"/> </p> ## Overview `Dependencies` is a rewrite of the legacy software [Dependency Walker](http://www.dependencywalker.com/) which was shipped along Windows SDKs, but whose development stopped around 2006. `Dependencies` can help Windows developers troubleshooting their dll load dependencies issues. ## Releases * [v1.11](https://github.com/lucasg/Dependencies/releases/download/v1.11.1/Dependencies_x64_Release.zip) : * lots of bugfixes and incremental improvements * covid pandemic * [v1.10](https://github.com/lucasg/Dependencies/releases/download/v1.10/Dependencies_x64_Release.zip) : * lots of bugfixes and incremental improvements * support of Windows 8.1 apisets parsing * [v1.9](https://github.com/lucasg/Dependencies/releases/download/v1.9/Dependencies_x64_Release.zip) : * Display imports and exports the way Depends.exe does. * Added user customization for search folders and working directory * Added LLVM demangler to availables symbol demangling * Fixed Wow64 FsRedirection bugs * F5 can now refresh the analysis * Added CLR assembly dependencies enumeration * Added a packaging option without Peview.exe (which triggers some AV). * [v1.8](https://github.com/lucasg/Dependencies/releases/download/v1.8/Dependencies_x64_Release.zip) : * Add x86/x64 variants for Dependencies * [v1.7](https://github.com/lucasg/Dependencies/releases/download/v1.7/Dependencies.zip) : * Add CLI tool "dependencies.exe" * [v1.6](https://github.com/lucasg/Dependencies/releases/download/v1.6/Dependencies.zip) : * Add appx packaging * [v1.5](https://github.com/lucasg/Dependencies/releases/download/v1.5/Dependencies.zip) : * Support of Sxs parsing * Support of api set schema parsing * API and Modules list can be filtered * [v1.0](https://github.com/lucasg/Dependencies/releases/download/v1.0/Dependencies.zip) -- Initial release ## Installation and Usage `Dependencies` is currently shipped as two binaries (no installer present) : `Dependencies.exe` as a CLI tool and `DependenciesGui.exe` for its GUI counterpart (see screenshot). Just click on one of the release numbers above (preferably the latest), download and uncompress the archive and run `DependenciesGui.exe`. Since the binary is not signed, `SmartScreen` might scream at runtime. `Dependencies` also bundle `ClrPhTester.exe`, a dumpbin-like executable used to test for non-regressions. `Dependencies` currently does not recursively resolve child imports when parsing a new PE since it can be really memory-hungry to do so ( it can over a GB even for "simple" PEs ). This behavior can be overridden (app-wide) via a property located in "Options->Properties->Tree build behaviour". <p align="center"> <img alt="User options" src="screenshots/UserOptions.png"/> </p> Tree build behaviours available : * `ChildOnly` (default) : only process PE child imports and nothing beyond. * `RecursiveOnlyOnDirectImports` : do not process delayload dlls. * `Recursive` : Full recursive analysis. You better have time and RAM on your hands if you activate this setting : <p align="center"> <img alt="Yes that's 7 GB of RAM being consumed. I'm impressed the application didn't even crash" src="screenshots/RamEater.PNG"/> </p> ## Limitations At the moment, `Dependencies` recreates features and "features" of `depends.exe`, which means : * Only direct, forwarded and delay load dependencies are supported. Dynamic loading via `LoadLibrary` are not supported (and probably won't ever be). * Support of api set schema redirection since 1.5 * Checks between Api Imports and Exports. * Minimal support of sxs private manifests search only. ## Building Building is pretty straightforward. The only caveat is you need to select the "Debug" or "Release" configuration and "x64" or "x86" platform which may not be the default. ## Credits and licensing Special thanks to : * [ProcessHacker2](https://github.com/processhacker2/processhacker) for : * `phlib`, which does the heavy lifting for processing PE informations. * `peview`, a powerful and lightweight PE informations viewer. * [Dragablz](https://github.com/ButchersBoy/Dragablz) a C#/XAML library which implement dockable and dragable UI elements, and can recreate the [MDI programming model](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_document_interface) in `WPF`. * @aionescu, @zodiacon and Quarkslab for their public infos on ApiSets schema. * [Thomas levesque's blog](https://www.thomaslevesque.com) which pretty much solved all my `WPF` programming issues.
