code-obfuscation-deobfuscation

code-obfuscation-deobfuscation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ShulkwiSEC/bb-huge. It costs 51 tokens per session (3,525 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of code-obfuscation-deobfuscation, MIT.

A playbook for analyzing and removing code obfuscation, which deliberately makes software harder for people and analysis tools to understand.

In plain words
What is it for?
Investigating native binaries with junk code, flattened control flow, self-modifying code, encrypted strings, or virtual-machine protection.
Why use it?
It helps reverse engineers distinguish different protection techniques and choose an appropriate way to recover the program's logic.

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

code-obfuscation-deobfuscation 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 7d 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.

SKILL: Code Obfuscation & Deobfuscation — Expert Analysis Playbook

AI LOAD INSTRUCTION: Expert techniques for identifying, classifying, and defeating code obfuscation in native binaries. Covers junk code, opaque predicates, SMC, control flow flattening, movfuscator, VM protectors (VMProtect/Themida/Code Virtualizer), string encryption, import hiding, and anti-disassembly tricks. Base models often conflate packing with obfuscation and miss the distinction between static and dynamic deobfuscation strategies.

Quick identification picks

Symptom in IDA/Ghidra Likely Obfuscation Start With
Flat CFG, single giant switch Control flow flattening Symbolic execution to recover CFG
Only mov instructions movfuscator demovfuscation / trace-based lifting
pushad/pushfd → VM entry VM protector Handler table extraction
XOR loop before code execution SMC / string encryption Dynamic analysis, breakpoint after decode
Impossible conditions (opaque predicates) Junk code insertion Pattern-based removal
All strings unreadable String encryption Hook decryption routine, or emulate
No imports in IAT Import hiding Trace GetProcAddress / hash resolution

1. JUNK CODE & OPAQUE PREDICATES

1.1 Junk Code Insertion

Dead code that never affects program output, added to increase analysis time.

Identification:

  • Instructions that write to registers/memory never read afterward
  • Function calls whose return values are discarded and have no side effects
  • Loops with invariant bounds that compute unused results

Removal strategy:

  1. Compute def-use chains (IDA/Ghidra data flow analysis)
  2. Mark instructions with no downstream use as dead
  3. Verify removal doesn't change program behavior (trace comparison)

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.
