Custom Transformers

So you need to deobfuscate some custom obfuscation? Maybe this repo isn't updated for the latest obfuscators? Here's some tips for writing a custom transformer.

Disassemble your target program

Try using Krakatau, it's pretty good.

Identify patterns

Most of the time obfuscations are applied with a very simple pattern. For example, string encryption may look like this

ldc "someencryptedstring"
invokestatic foo/DecryptorClass decrypt (Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/String;
ldc "someencryptedstring"
dup
invokevirtual java/lang/String length ()I
ldc 52
sipush 29
ixor
imul
invokestatic foo/DecryptorClass decrypt(Ljava/lang/String;I)Ljava/lang/String; 

If you can identify the common pattern being used, you can use InstructionPattern to quickly isolate the relevant bytecodes.
For example, at the time of writing Stringer v3 follows some very simple patterns.

Deobfuscate it

JavaVM provides a very easy way to execute unsafe bytecodes and intercept/modify results. Again, check out the Stringer transformers for sample usages

Open a ticket

If that didn't work, or if you think the repo needs an update, open a ticket and provide the file (or a reproducible sample). This way, the next person who comes along can use an existing transformer!
