unpack

A command for identifying software packers, which compress or protect executable files, and attempting to unpack them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect a binary, check its sections and entropy, unpack UPX-protected files, or document next steps for other packers.
Why use it?
Packed binaries can hide their code and make analysis difficult; this command helps identify the protection and produces an unpacked copy when UPX is used.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

unpack scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Packer Detection & Unpacking

Parse $ARGUMENTS to get the binary path.

Step 1 — Identify Packing

  1. Entropy analysis:

    r2 -qc 'iS' <binary>
    

    Sections with entropy > 7.0 are likely packed.

  2. File identification:

    file <binary>
    
  3. Known packer signatures:

    • UPX: UPX0, UPX1 sections, or UPX! magic at offset
    • ASPack: .aspack, .adata sections
    • Themida/WinLicense: .winlicense, .themida sections
    • VMProtect: .vmp0, .vmp1 sections
    • Enigma: .enigma section
    • .NET Reactor: .reacto section
    • Confuser: Garbled section names in .NET

Step 2 — Attempt Unpacking

If UPX detected:

mkdir -p extracted
upx -d <binary> -o extracted/unpacked-<binary-name>

Verify the unpacked file:

file extracted/unpacked-<binary-name>
r2 -qc 'iS' extracted/unpacked-<binary-name>

If other packer: Document the packer type and suggest manual approaches:

  • ASPack: Try generic unpackers or dump from memory
  • Themida/VMProtect: Requires dynamic unpacking (run under debugger, dump at OEP)
  • .NET obfuscation: Use /dotnet with de4dot
  • Custom packer: Use Frida for runtime memory dumping

Ask the user which approach to take:

AskUserQuestion: The binary is packed with <packer>. Options:
1. Attempt automated unpacking
2. Dynamic memory dump (requires wine + frida)
3. Skip unpacking, analyze packed binary
4. Manual approach (provide guidance)

Step 3 — Verify Unpacked Binary

  1. Check that the unpacked file is a valid PE:
    file extracted/unpacked-<binary-name>
    
  2. Compare entropy before/after:
    r2 -qc 'iS' extracted/unpacked-<binary-name>
    
  3. Verify imports are now visible:
    r2 -qc 'ii' extracted/unpacked-<binary-name>
    

Step 4 — Re-analyze

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

unpack is a command published in the GitHub repository ogrodev/fsociety (20 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 7 tokens to every session and 641 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
