Deobfuscating PjOrion using bytecode simplifier

Bytecode simplifier is a tool to de-obfuscate PjOrion protected python scripts. This post is a short tutorial to show how to use this module to deobfuscate a protected python script.

I have used the sample code below to demonstrate its usage. This is a small program to calculate the factorial of a number.

# Python program to find the factorial of a number using recursion
 
def recur_factorial(n):
   """Function to return the factorial
   of a number using recursion"""
   if n == 1:
       return n
   else:
       return n*recur_factorial(n-1)
 
 
# take input from the user
num = int(input("Enter a number: "))
 
# check is the number is negative
if num < 0:
   print("Sorry, factorial does not exist for negative numbers")
elif num == 0:
   print("The factorial of 0 is 1")
else:
   print("The factorial of",num,"is",recur_factorial(num))

I have first compiled the script and protected it as shown in Figure 1 & 2.

Figure 2: Protecting the generated pyc file
Figure 2: Protecting the generated pyc file
After protection, we get a large file example.pyc about 27 KiB in size. This is the file we will be working on.

The stock python interpreter does not have bytecode tracing facilities inbuilt. Hence we have to use a modified version of Python which supports bytecode tracing. I have provided a precompiled version of Python 2.7.13 with bytecode tracing support at Github. The python27.dll file has to be copied to  C:\Windows\System32\. Make sure to backup the existing dll so that you can revert when finished.

Step - 1: Unwrapping the layers


The first step is to unwrap the protection layers to get hold of the actual obfuscated code object. For this, we will be using the pjunwrapper module as shown below.

C:\pj-dump>python pjunwrapper.py --ifile=example.pyc
XXX lineno: 1, opcode: 156
[*] Dumped 1 code object
XXX lineno: 1, opcode: 213
XXX lineno: 1, opcode: 184
XXX lineno: 1, opcode: 240
XXX lineno: 1, opcode: 240
XXX lineno: 1, opcode: 240
XXX lineno: 1, opcode: 240
[*] Dumped 1 code object
XXX lineno: 1, opcode: 7
XXX lineno: 1, opcode: 45
[*] Dumped 1 code object
XXX lineno: 1, opcode: 161
Enter a number: ^D
Error in module '__main__': unexpected EOF while parsing (<string>, line 1)

PjUnwrapper requires the pystack extension module. Make sure that the extension is present in python path. Running this, some files having names of wrapper_ would be dumped. These are basically the wrapper layers over the actual obfuscated code. In our case, the obfuscated code has a file name wrapper_3.pyc as shown in Figure 3. In general, the highest numbered file contains the final obfuscated code.

Step - 2: Deobfuscating


The final step is to run bytecode_simplifier over wrapper_3.pyc as shown below.

    1. The script is protected using "Exec only in WOT" mode. For the moment you have to make sure that the script can import BigWorld module. Later I plan to figure out some way to fake the presence of that said module which will alleviate the need for this.

  6. Hey,
    Will I be able to do all this in Linux? I saw there is a requirement for some WoT library (BigWorld), I guess it's a python (i.e. cross-platform) library right? Which means I would be able to just it over from Windows

    ReplyDelete
  7. Hi,
    another anonymous, same problem: no module named BigWorld.
    Am I right to assume that the only way to overcome this currently would be to buy a license of the BigWorld engine? - Or could there be some magic trick with the game running in the background (sorry for the ignorant question, its just a desperate guess)? Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I don't think a license of BigWorld is required. At runtime, PjOrion checks for the existence of BigWorld module before processing. So, it should be possible to create a fake BigWorld module to pass the check. Finding out how to do this is on my agenda, but again there are no promises when.

      In case you decide to have a look, note that the check is a bit more deep than just checking for the module's existence. You may need to create some fake variables, classes, functions etc in the fake module to successfully override the check.
