From a Regular Infostealer to its Obfuscated Version, (Sat, Nov 30th)

This report analyzes the Trap-Stealer Python info stealer repository and demonstrates the toolchain and obfuscation techniques used to hide malicious payloads: filler classes/variables, Base64-encoded embedded scripts, layered encryption with key-guessing, zlib compression, and runtime execution via exec(). The author highlights the included obfuscator, shows a dropped fake JPEG sample with low AV detection, and notes the trade-off between obfuscation and file size.
