autoit-ripper 1.2.0

Extract AutoIt scripts embedded in PE binaries

AutoIt-Ripper

What is this

This is a short python script that allows for extraction of "compiled" AutoIt scripts from PE executables.

References

This script is heavily based on 3 resources, definitely check them out if you want to dig a bit deeper into AutoIt stuff:

• http://files.planet-dl.org/Cw2k/MyAutToExe/index.html
  • Github mirror I
  • Github mirror II
• https://github.com/sujuhu/autoit
• https://github.com/Cisco-Talos/clamav-devel/blob/31824a659dff37ae03e3419395bb68e659c2b165/libclamav/autoit.c

Supported AutoIt versions

Ready:

• EA05 AutoIt3.00
• EA06 AutoIt3.26
• JB01 AutoHotKey v1

Unknown:

• JB01 AutoIT2

Installation

python3 -m pip install autoit-ripper

or, if you'd like to install the version from sources:

git clone https://github.com/nazywam/AutoIt-Ripper.git
cd AutoIt-Ripper
pip install .

Running

From a python script:

from autoit_ripper import extract, AutoItVersion

with open("sample.exe", "rb") as f:
    file_content = f.read()

# EA05 for v3.00+, EA06 for v3.26+
# Omitting `version` or passing None will try both versions
content_list = extract(data=file_content, version=AutoItVersion.EA06)

From the commandline:

autoit-ripper sample.exe out_directory

Help message:

autoit-ripper --help
usage: autoit-ripper [-h] [--verbose] [--ea {EA05,EA06,guess}] file output_dir

positional arguments:
  file                  input binary
  output_dir            output directory

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --verbose, -v
  --ea {EA05,EA06,JB01,guess}
                        extract a specific version of AutoIt script (default: guess)
