Obfuscators
- Anubis
- Berserker
- Cython
Cython isn't officially seen as an obfuscator but because it compiles Python code to C code it definitely helps with making the code harder to understand.
- development tools's obfuscator
- Hyperion
This obfuscator is unique since it's one of the only ones that actually transforms your Python code. Since it returns plain Python source code it can be used on any platform that has Python available.
- Kramer
Resources
Deobfuscators
- bonedensity
A deobfuscator for the obfuscator PyArmor. Supports both the free and the paid Super mode.
- Hyperion-deobfuscator
A deobfuscator for the obfuscator Hyperion.
- nuitka-helper
Not a deobfuscator but a tool that does symbol recovery for Nuitka samples. Read the blog post linked in the README.
- Pyarmor-Static-Unpack-1shot
A deobfuscator for the obfuscator Pyarmor 8.0 and above. Supports both free and pro versions.
- PyArmor-Unpacker
The most popular deobfuscator for the obfuscator Pyarmor. It only supports the free version of Pyarmor.
Python internals
Decompilers
- decompile3
A Python decompiler aiming to support versions 3.7 - 3.8.
- pycdc
A disassembler and decompiler written in C++ aiming to support all Python versions. This decompiler is known to be unstable.
- pycdc (snippet decompiler)
This tool decompiles individual snippets of Python bytecode as opposed to entire binary files, aiming to help manual decompilation of binaries that are unsupported by state-of-the-art Python decompilers.
- pylingual
An AI decompiler for multiple, more recent, Python versions. Has built-in output checking and is in general one of the better decompilers out there.
- uncompyle6
A Python decompiler aiming to support versions 1.0 - 3.8 (including Dropbox's Python 2.5 bytecode and some PyPy bytecodes).
- unpyc3.7-3.10
A fork of a decompiler which aims to support versions 3.7 - 3.10.
Disassemblers
Bytecode
- hypnoManual analysis
A cross-platform tool/library allowing to inject python code into a running python process. Can be installed through
- PyInjectorManual analysis
An injector for Windows that allows you to inject Python code into any Python process. It can be useful to expose variables, functions, grab code objects and many other things.
- pySpyEditors
This tool aims to make viewing and editing bytecode easier. Only works properly for version 3.9.
- PythonForWindowsManual analysis
This library allows you to interact with windows but also lets you inject Python code into another Python process without needing to inject a dll yourself.
- xdisEditors
A Python cross-version bytecode library and disassembler. This library allows you to modify bytecode programmatically.
- x-pythonManual analysis
A Python implementation of the C interpreter. It can be useful to run bytecode instruction by instruction.
Extractors
- nuitka-extractor
An extractor for nuitka. This basically does the same thing as looking in the
- pyinstxtractor
pyinstxtractor is the most popular extractor for PyInstaller. It supports almost all versions of PyInstaller. (
- unpy2exe
unpy2exe is an extractor for py2exe but is not maintained anymore and likely will fail on newer versions of py2exe.
