I'm reading PE32 exe file specification. It's one of the worst specifications that I have ever read. They called format "portable" and even didn't mention if data is written in big-endian or little-endian or platofrm specific way. Half(!!) of specification is devoted to deprecated COFF debug symbols.

It's inconsistent. If you want to read description - read fucking huge table where it's written in relatively small column of the table, if you want to see enumerations, scroll it down. And since they never heard about hyperlinks, so you must scroll manually up and down constantly.

It describes what it shouldn't
The user can specify a different stub by using the /STUB linker option.

THIS IS NOT MS LINKER FUCKING MANUAL, MS!! I HATE YOU.

And if was not bad enough already, it's shipped as docx file.

Someone with a working /prog/scrape should check for >>1-kun content. I'm quite sure this is a repost.

PE files are easy. There's so many damn tools and documentation about them, that they are practically quite well-known formats. They're hardly perfect, but fit their job reasonably well and they're also quite flexible (even though, I would recommend actually testing if something is valid or not in actual implementations which can execute the code (such as different Windows NT's or WINE/ReactOS/etc) as there are small inconsistencies gotcha's where some OSes (especially newer NT 6.0+) refuse to accept certain well-formed PE files since they tightened some requirements (for example, alignment-related).
