Decrypt and recover obfuscated strings from binaries by analyzing encryption patterns and generating decryption scripts

  • Works in 5 steps: Identify Encrypted Strings → Analyze the Decryption Routine → Choose Decryption Strategy → …
  • Security work in your project
  • SKILL.md covers Prerequisites and Workflow
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Deobf String is an agent skill from P4nda0s/bin-deobf-skills. Decrypt and recover obfuscated strings from binaries by analyzing encryption patterns and generating decryption scripts

Its SKILL.md is about 880 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Security. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Skills: Binary deobfuscation of O-LLVM-like protected binaries.

When your agent uses it

  • Security work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/deobf-string”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Identify Encrypted Strings
  2. Analyze the Decryption Routine
  3. Choose Decryption Strategy
  4. Implement Decryption
  5. Output Results

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2ce1dc6. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Deobf String loads about 876 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 312 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~33
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~876

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 312 words (~876 tokens).

“Before starting analysis, check if IDA Pro MCP is connected. Use the MCP tool to verify the connection. If IDA Pro MCP is not available, inform the user:”
