47
+ ## What it does
48
+
49
+ Most modern malware hides behind packers (like UPX, VMProtect, or Themida) or stashes encrypted payloads in PE resource directories or trailing file overlays. Rather than relying on static byte signatures, `entropystrip` evaluates:
50
+
51
+ 1. **Section Entropy:** Calculates block-level Shannon entropy across every PE section to locate encrypted or compressed buffers ($H > 7.20$).
52
+ 2. **Memory Permissions:** Identifies sections marked simultaneously as Writable and Executable (`IMAGE_SCN_MEM_WRITE` and `IMAGE_SCN_MEM_EXECUTE`), which indicates self-modifying code or runtime unpackers.
53
+ 3. **PE Overlays:** Measures trailing bytes appended past the end of the last mapped section.
54
+ 4. **Import Table Size & Composition:** Flags binaries with unusually small IATs (e.g. only importing `LoadLibrary` / `GetProcAddress`) or sensitive process injection primitives (`VirtualAlloc`, `WriteProcessMemory`, `QueueUserAPC`).
55
+ 5. **.NET Classification:** Inspects the COM descriptor directory to separate managed CLR assemblies from native binaries, avoiding false positives on standard C# applications.
56
+ 6. **Payload Carving:** Extracts identified high-entropy sections or overlays straight to raw binary files on disk for further analysis.
57
+ 7. **Directory Triage:** Walks directories or drives and ranks all found binaries by threat score.

+
61
+ ## Installation
62
+
63
+ Requirements: Python 3.8+ on Windows, Linux, or macOS.
64
+
65
+ ```bash
66
+ pip install entropystrip
67
+ ```
68
+
69
+ Or install directly from source:
70
+
71
+ ```bash
72
+ git clone https://github.com/dwexi/entropystrip.git
73
+ cd entropystrip
74
+ pip install -e .
75
+ ```
76
+
77

78
+
79
+ ## Usage
80
+
81
+ ```text
82
+ usage: main.py [-h] [-r] [--dump] [--deep] [--html HTML] [--json JSON] target
83
+
84
+ EntropyStrip: PE De-obfuscator & Triage Engine
85
+
86
+ positional arguments:
87
+ target Path to Windows executable (.exe / .dll) or directory to scan
88
+
89
+ options:
90
+ -h, --help show this help message and exit
91
+ -r, --recursive
92
+ recursively scan subdirectories if target is a folder
93
+ --dump carve and write high-entropy payloads to extracted_payloads/
94
+ --deep deep forensic triage: MITRE ATT&CK mapping, entry point disassembly, hashes
95
+ --html HTML write minimalist HTML report to specified path
96
+ --json JSON write machine-readable JSON telemetry to specified path
97
+ ```
98
+
99
+ ### Examples
100
+
101
+ **Analyze a single binary:**
102
+ ```bash
103
+ python main.py target.exe
104
+ ```
105
+
106
+ **Deep forensic triage with MITRE ATT&CK mapping & disassembly:**
107
+ ```bash
108
+ python main.py suspicious.exe --deep
109
+ ```
110
+
111
+ **Analyze and extract hidden payload buffers:**
112
+ ```bash
113
+ python main.py suspicious.exe --dump
114
+ ```
115
+ Carved payloads are written to `extracted_payloads/<target>_<section>.bin`.
116
+
117
+ **Export a standalone HTML report:**
118
+ ```bash
119
+ python main.py sample.exe --html report.html
120
+ ```
121
+
122
+ **Triage an entire directory of unknown files:**
123
+ ```bash
124
+ python main.py "C:\IncidentTriage" -r
125
+ ```
126

129
+ ## Entropy Scale Reference
130
+
131
+ Shannon entropy measures information density from 0.00 to 8.00 bits per byte:
132
+
133
+ $$H(X) = -\sum_{i=0}^{255} P(x_i) \log_2 P(x_i)$$
134
+
135
+ | Entropy Range | Expected Content | Notes |
136
+ |---|---|---|
137
+ | `0.00 - 2.00` | Zero-padding, sparse tables | Common in uninitialized data or alignment padding |
138
+ | `2.00 - 5.50` | Standard ASCII, configurations | Normal application metadata, strings |
139
+ | `5.50 - 6.60` | Native compiled machine code | Standard x86/x64 instructions (`.text`) |
140
+ | `6.60 - 7.30` | Compressed assets | Bitmaps, icons, zlib/deflate streams |
141
+ | `7.40 - 8.00` | Cryptographic ciphertext | AES/RC4 encrypted payloads or tightly packed shellcode |
