analyzing-compiled-python-malware

Analyzes Python-based malware packaged as PyInstaller/py2exe executables by detecting the packer, locating the embedded archive, and identifying bundled .pyc modules for extraction and decompilation. Activates for requests to analyze compiled Python malware, unpack a PyInstaller binary, or extract pyc modules from a frozen Python executable.

Analyzing Compiled Python Malware

When to Use

  • You have an executable that is actually a frozen Python app (PyInstaller, py2exe, cx_Freeze) and need to identify the packer and locate the embedded Python modules.
  • You want to extract .pyc files for decompilation.

Do not use this to run the executable — it identifies and locates the embedded archive statically. Decompile extracted .pyc in an isolated environment.

Prerequisites

  • The frozen executable (read inertly).

Safety & Handling

  • Read bytes statically; treat extracted modules as malicious until reviewed.

Workflow

Step 1: Detect the packer

python scripts/analyst.py detect sample.exe

Looks for PyInstaller markers (pyi-, PYZ-00.pyz, the MEI CArchive cookie MEI\014\013\012\013\016), py2exe (PYTHONSCRIPT, zipfile.zip), and embedded python3x.dll references.

Step 2: Locate the embedded archive

Find the CArchive cookie near the end of the file and report the offset and the embedded Python version string (python3.x).

Step 3: Extract and decompile

Use a PyInstaller extractor to dump the archive, then decompile .pyc (matching the detected Python version) for source recovery.

Step 4: Analyze the source

Review the recovered Python for C2, persistence, and capability; map to ATT&CK.

Validation

  • The packer is identified by its specific marker, not just the presence of Python strings.
  • The CArchive cookie offset and Python version are reported when PyInstaller is present.
  • Findings distinguish the bootloader stub from the embedded Python payload.

Pitfalls

  • .pyc version mismatch breaking decompilation — match the interpreter version.
  • Stripped/obfuscated bytecode (e.g., custom magic) needing header repair before decompiling.
  • Encrypted PYZ archives (PyInstaller --key) requiring the key.
