Python Obfuscation Framework.

Combine and chain obfuscation methods on a single Python source file.

Source:

print('Hello, world')

Output:

Goals

The goals of this project is to create a toolkit to obfuscate Python source code, mainly to create payload for offensive security.

pof will allow you to:

create payloads: store the code inside images, have multiple stages, use LOTL techniques
create stager: easily create multi stages payloads
do evasion: AV, EDR, DPI, sandbox and other analysis techniques
slow analysis: slow down human analysis of the payload
enable automation: automate the whole process, to produce numerous variant of the payload
have fun: because it's always fun to see what's possible to do with Python

This project also tries to combine all other Python obfuscation tools available, because most of them only provide a single method, and it's pretty basic. So you should be able to do everything that those other tools do, but without having to use multiple.

Python is not exactly the best language to create payloads with, especially for Windows if the interpreter is not already installed. This project was made for learning, and discovering new ways of bypassing security, it's a great way to test obfuscations techniques.

This project could also give you ideas to implement in other languages, such as powershell where it would make sens to obfuscate the source code. Or in C, C#, C++, Go or Rust where it would make sens to stage payloads, compress them, encrypt them and obfuscate strings.

You could also use most of the stagers to stage payload that are not built in Python.

Shortcomings

Any obfuscation techniques that adds code complexity will make the code run slower. For most usage this won't have an impact, and no one is using Python for speed anyway (at least I hope).

Encoding, compression, encryption will slow the start of the programs, because it will first have to decode, de-compress, or decrypt it.

Strings, numbers, builtin, obfuscators will make the code run slower, because they will add complexity to many parts of it.

And finally the 'classical' techniques, names, definitions won't have an impact on the speed of the code, because they'll simply renames elements of the code.

Install

There is 2 installation option, 1 inside a virtualenv, 2 inside a Docker container.

1. Python

git clone https://github.com/deoktr/pof
cd pof
python -m venv venv
source ./venv/bin/activate
./setup.py install

This will install pof inside a virtual env, so you'll need to activate it every times you want to use it.

2. Docker

docker build -t pof .
docker run --rm -it pof --help

Run inside Docker from a file.

docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/tmp -it pof -o /tmp/output.py /tmp/input.py

Usage

You can either pipe or give a file for input, same for output.

echo "print('Hello, world')" | pof

Output:

from base64 import b64decode as CRT_ASSERT
from base64 import b85decode as _45802
UserClassSlots=__builtins__.__dict__.__getitem__(_45802(''[::-1]).decode().join([__builtins__.__getattribute__("".join([chr(ord(i)-3)for i in'ukf'[::-1]]))(__builtins__.__getattribute__('\u006f\u0072\u0064')(i)-(__name__.__eq__.__call__(__name__)+__name__.__eq__.__call__(__name__)+__name__.__eq__(__name__)))for i in CRT_ASSERT('c3VscXc=').decode()]))
UserClassSlots(CRT_ASSERT('').decode().join([__builtins__.__getattribute__("".join([chr(ord(i)-3)for i in'']).join([chr(ord(i)-3)for i in'parse_intermixed_argsu'.replace('parse_intermixed_args','fk')]))(__builtins__.__dict__.__getitem__(_45802('L}g}jVP{fhb9HQVa%2').decode().replace("".join([chr(ord(i)-3)for i in'GhiudjUhvxow']),'o'[::-1]))(i)-(__name__.__eq__.__call__(__name__)+globals()["".join([chr(ord(i)-3)for i in'bbvqlwolxebb'])[::-1]].__dict__["".join([chr(ord(i)-3)for i in'']).join([chr(ord(i)-3)for i in'Wuxsimple_stmt'.replace('simple_stmt','h')])]+(type(1)==type(1))))for i in'gourz#/r_pfK'[::-1].replace(_45802('W^i9}').decode(),CRT_ASSERT('aG9vcg==').decode())]))

And yes, this is a valid Python script, that actually runs and only output Hello world ! And you'll get a different output each times.

Using a specific obfuscator:

pof in.py -o out.py -f obfuscator -k BuiltinsObfuscator

Using a specific payload:

pof inf.py -o out.py -f payload -k GzipPayload

Examples

These are examples of obfuscators of the script print('Hello, world').

To select an obfuscator use the flag -f obfuscator and -k ObfuscatorClassName.

To reproduce the examples you can use the following command:

echo "print('Hello, world')" | pof -f obfuscator -k UUIDObfuscator

To test the validity of the output you can simply pipe it to Python:

echo "print('Hello, world')" | pof -f obfuscator -k UUIDObfuscator | python

RC4Obfuscator

Warning: the RC4 obfuscator (and other cipher obfuscators) will combine both, the cipher text and the key in the same file, this is obviously not secure, and should never be used for security purposes. The idea behind this obfuscator is to fool humans, AV, EDR, network TAP etc. not to be secured and safe.

XORObfuscator

Warning: like for the RC4 cipher the XOR obfuscator shouldn't be used for security purposes, its main goal is to evade common security tools, not protect the information! Plus the XOR cipher is really weak and easy to crack.

Generators

Generators are used to generate new names, they can be used to classes, variables, functions, constants or any other.

BasicGenerator.alphabet_generator

kMX94Fcb
mff0ERu3V
lNRxu3hk
b5PK35uR_t

AdvancedGenerator.realistic_generator

Useful to create variables that look realistic.

raise_src
expected_message
ContextInputValidation
is_auth

AdvancedGenerator.fixed_length_generator

Inspired by: pyob.oxyry.com.

O00OOOO00O0O00OOO
O000OOOOO0O000O0O
O0OOOO0000OO0OO00
O000000OO0O0O0OO0

UnicodeGenerator.katakana_generator

シ
ビラ
ポワ
ヌバ

Yes they are valid Python variable name.

Usage

from pof.utils.generator import UnicodeGenerator

gen = UnicodeGenerator().katakana_generator()
for _ in range(4):
    print(next(gen))

Homoglyphs

Homoglyphs are glyphs that have the same shape and appear identical. There is a generator to help create them.

Example of homoglyphs for Hello, world!:

H𝐞llo, world!
Hello, ᴡorld!
Hello, worldǃ
Hello, world！
Hеllo, world!
Hello, woгld!
Hello, woꭈld!
Hello, world!
Hello, worldǃ
Hello¸ world!
Hello, world!

Usage:

from pof.utils.se import HomoglyphsGenerator

def get_homoglyphs():
    generator = HomoglyphsGenerator()
    text = "Hello, world!"
    for _ in range(10):
        homoglyph = generator.get_single_homoglyph(text)
        print(homoglyph)

Python API

The true power of pof is in chaining multiple different obfuscation techniques easily, there is a pretty simple Python API to do so.

For example this is a snippet of the default obfuscator:

def obfuscate(source):
    tokens = get_tokens(source)

    # get all the names and add them to the RESERVED_WORDS for the
    # generators
    reserved_words_add = NameExtract.get_names(tokens)
    BaseGenerator.extend_reserved(reserved_words_add)

    tokens = CommentsObfuscator().obfuscate_tokens(tokens)
    tokens = LoggingObfuscator().obfuscate_tokens(tokens)
    tokens = PrintObfuscator().obfuscate_tokens(tokens)
    ex_generator = BasicGenerator.number_name_generator()
    tokens = ExceptionObfuscator(
        add_codes=True,
        generator=ex_generator,
    ).obfuscate_tokens(tokens)

    # configure generator
    gen_dict = {
        86: AdvancedGenerator.realistic_generator(),
        10: BasicGenerator.alphabet_generator(),
        4: BasicGenerator.number_name_generator(length=random.randint(2, 5)),
    }
    generator = AdvancedGenerator.multi_generator(gen_dict)

    # core obfuscation
    tokens = ConstantsObfuscator(
        generator=generator,
        obf_number_rate=0.7,
        obf_string_rate=0.1,
        obf_string_rate=0.1,
        obf_builtins_rate=0.3,
    ).obfuscate_tokens(tokens)

    tokens = NamesObfuscator(generator=generator).obfuscate_tokens(tokens)

    tokens = GlobalsObfuscator().obfuscate_tokens(tokens)
    tokens = BuiltinsObfuscator().obfuscate_tokens(tokens)

    b64decode_name = next(generator)
    b85decode_name = next(generator)
    string_obfuscator = StringsObfuscator(
        import_b64decode=True,
        import_b85decode=True,
        b64decode_name=b64decode_name,
        b85decode_name=b85decode_name,
    )
    tokens = string_obfuscator.obfuscate_tokens(tokens)
    string_obfuscator.import_b64decode = False
    string_obfuscator.import_b85decode = False

    for _ in range(2):
        tokens = NumberObfuscator().obfuscate_tokens(tokens)
    tokens = BuiltinsObfuscator().obfuscate_tokens(tokens)
    for _ in range(2):
        tokens = string_obfuscator.obfuscate_tokens(tokens)

    return untokenize(tokens)

In this example we can see that first we remove comments, logging, print statements, and change the content of exceptions, and then we start to obfuscate constants, names, globals, builtins, strings, then strings and numbers multiple times, and we finally convert the tokens back to code.

By chaining multiple obfuscations techniques we can create very complex and custom output.

Pof also provide evasions methods, detailed below, they are useful for quick and easy evasions, and can be used and customized to fit the need.

For more example of how to use the pof Python API check the examples/ directory.

Yara

Yara rules can be used to detect malware, they can also be used to find interesting strings in Python source code. To check rules against source files and/or obfuscated files run:

yara --no-warnings yara/python.yar file.py

Development

Project

pof contains all the pof source code
- pof/obfuscator contains obfuscators
- pof/stager contains satgers
- pof/evasion contains evasions
- pof/utils all shared code between stager, obfuscator and evasion
wip work in progress code that will eventually make its way inside the main code base
tests unit tests for pof
scripts some useful scripts to develop or use pof
yara some yara rules to detect pof obfuscated code
