# Unlicense 

[![GitHub release](https://img.shields.io/github/release/ergrelet/unlicense.svg)](https://github.com/ergrelet/unlicense/releases) [![Minimum Python version](https://img.shields.io/badge/python-3.9+-blue.svg)](https://www.python.org/downloads/) ![CI status](https://github.com/ergrelet/unlicense/actions/workflows/check.yml/badge.svg?branch=main)

A Python 3 tool to dynamically unpack executables protected with

Themida/WinLicense 2.x and 3.x.

Warning: This tool will execute the target executable. Make sure to use this

tool in a VM if you're unsure about what the target executable does.

Note: You need to use a 32-bit Python interpreter to dump 32-bit executables.

## Features

* Handles Themida/Winlicense 2.x and 3.x

* Handles 32-bit and 64-bit PEs (EXEs and DLLs)

* Handles 32-bit and 64-bit .NET assemblies (EXEs only)

* Recovers the original entry point (OEP) automatically

* Recovers the (obfuscated) import table automatically

## Known Limitations

* Doesn't handle .NET assembly DLLs

* Doesn't produce runnable dumps in most cases

* Resolving imports for 32-bit executables packed with Themida 2.x is pretty slow

* Requires a valid license file to unpack WinLicense-protected executables that

  require license files to start

## How To

### Download

You can either download the PyInstaller-generated executables from the "Releases"

section or fetch the project with `git` and install it with `pip`:

```

pip install git+https://github.com/ergrelet/unlicense.git

```

### Use

If you don't want to deal the command-line interface (CLI) you can simply

drag-and-drop the target binary on the appropriate (32-bit or 64-bit) `unlicense`

executable (which is available in the "Releases" section).

Otherwise here's what the CLI looks like:

```

unlicense --help
