94237eac80fd2a20880180cab19b94e8760f0d1f06715ff42a6f60aef84f4adf humpty_tony medium This post’s goal is to show how you reverse a “boring” stealer by treating the loader chain as the real specimen. Peel multi-stage Python loaders safely: - Identify and undo container transforms (reverse bytes + zlib). - Recognize when crypto code is “almost right” but relies on a modified library (the PyAES GCM mismatch), then swap in a compatible implementation to decrypt without executing. - Deal with Python marshalled bytecode. - Reduce obfuscation to primitives (base64 aliasing, rot13, marshal.loads, LZMA/XZ payloads, BlankOBF patterns), so you can turn “giant blob soup” into discrete stages you can write to disk, identify with file, and decompile. So the analysis goal is basically: build a repeatable methodology for unpacking + staging + version-correct decompilation of Python malware—because that workflow applies to tons of commodity stealers and loaders. 1 1 04 Jan 2026
