### Inspect
Display XEX2 file information (headers, security info, etc.):
```sh
xex2tractor <file.xex>
xex2tractor inspect <file.xex>
```

### Extract
Extract the decrypted and decompressed PE image from a XEX2 file:
```sh
xex2tractor extract <file.xex> [output.exe]
```
If no output path is given, defaults to the input filename with `.exe` extension.
#### Example
```sh
$ xex2tractor extract default.xex default.exe
Encryption: Normal (AES-128-CBC)
Compression: Normal (LZX)
Extracted PE image (9568256 bytes) -> default.exe
```
Supports:
- AES-128-CBC decryption (retail, devkit, and XEX1 master keys)
- No compression, basic (zero-fill), and normal (LZX) decompression
- PE header verification (MZ signature, PE signature, POWERPCBE machine type)
