Regarding the Code
-
I was playing around with Audacity. Then, I imported Powder.exe as raw data. Near the end, I noticed that there are 2 systems, that appear to be mirrored, and separated from the rest of the code. What does this part of the code do, and why is it mirrored?
Here is the image. Look at the red square.

Your image is not really helpful, it doesn't tell what part of executable we are looking for.
It's probably just some static data; some executable metadata/header stuff.

So yeah. I'll tell you something.
When I inspected the audio, it starts out, and each of them ends out pretty much the same way. For example, if we had code sample A and code sample B, it would be pretty much like A, B, B, A. Or something like that.
No way that could be static data. Otherwise it would sound like static (of course), so headers and executable metadata could be preferrable, since I know headers also start and end in very similar ways. Dunno about metadata though.

In an off-topic note, I was inspired by some videos I found about converting MSPaint.exe into audio.

That is what I meant by static data, data that is constant and doesn't change across executables, e.g. headers and such.
