About Winbindex
Winbindex is an index of Windows binaries that provides download links for executables such as exe, dll and sys files. The linked files are not hosted by Winbindex; they are hosted on Microsoft's public symbol server (msdl.microsoft.com), and Winbindex indexes the metadata needed to generate those links. The website and its database are kept in the GitHub repository and served with GitHub Pages, and the database is updated on a regular basis by Python scripts located in the repository's data folder.
