Explanation
Dependency Walker (depends.exe) is a classic Windows utility that recursively maps all DLLs (dynamically linked libraries) an executable depends on, showing exported/imported functions and load order. This makes it ideal for static analysis of malware to reveal what system calls or external libraries it uses. SysAnalyzer is a broader dynamic analysis framework, PEiD detects packers/compilers in PE files, and ResourcesExtract pulls embedded resources - none focus specifically on DLL dependency mapping.
