An experimental research project demonstrating a dynamic approach to devirtualize pure functions protected by VMProtect 3.x using symbolic execution and LLVM. It reconstructs original binary code from obfuscated traces, working best on functions with a single basic block.

Use cases

  • devirtualize VMProtect-protected pure functions
  • deobfuscate virtualized arithmetic operations in binaries
  • recover original code from VMProtect obfuscated traces
  • analyze VMProtect virtual machine instruction traces
  • convert obfuscated binary code to LLVM IR
  • study symbolic execution attacks against software protection

When to choose

  • you need to reverse-engineer VMProtect 3.x protected pure functions
  • you want to deobfuscate virtualized arithmetic or bitwise operations
  • you are researching dynamic devirtualization techniques with symbolic execution and LLVM
  • the target function has one or few basic blocks

When to avoid

  • the target function has many basic blocks or complex control flow
  • the protected code has side effects or is not a pure function
  • you need a production-grade, supported deobfuscation tool
  • you need a license-compliant dependency (the repo has no license)
