Identifying packers, crypters or protectors
As others have mentioned, looking at entropy is a good metric to generically determine whether or not a given sample is being packed / obfuscated in some way. Doing static analysis on the binary format itself (I'm assuming PE for Windows is the goal) is also useful, such as checking whether or not a section's raw size on disk is much smaller than the virtual size allocated in-memory for that section, which is a reliable indication of packing behavior. This project looks useful for introspecting such behaviors.
