Runtime Module pytransform

If you have realized that the obfuscated scripts are black box for end users, you can do more in your own Python scripts.In these cases, pytransform would be useful.

The pytransform module is distributed with obfuscated scripts, and must be imported before running any obfuscated scripts. It also can be used in your python scripts.

Contents

exception PytransformError

This is raised when any pytransform api failed. The argument to the exception is a string indicating the cause of the error.

get_expired_days()

Return how many days left for time limitation license.

0: has been expired

-1: never expired

get_license_info()

Get license information of obfuscated scripts.

It returns a dict with keys expired, CODE, IFMAC.

The value of expired is == -1 means no time limitation.

Raise PytransformError if license is invalid, for example, it has been expired.

get_hd_info(hdtype, size=256)

Get hardware information by hdtype, hdtype could one of

HT_HARDDISK return the serial number of first harddisk

HT_IFMAC return mac address of first network card

Raise PytransformError if something is wrong.

HT_HARDDISK, HT_IFMAC

Constant for hdtype when calling get_hd_info()

Examples

Copy those example code to any script, for example foo.py, obfuscate it, then run the obfuscated script.

Show left days of license

from pytransform import PytransformError, get_license_info, get_expired_days
try:
    code = get_license_info()['CODE']
    left_days = get_expired_days()
    if left_days == -1:
        print('This license for %s is never expired' % code)
    else:
        print('This license for %s will be expired in %d days' % (code, left_days))
except PytransformError as e:
    print(e)

Double check harddisk information

from pytransform import get_hd_info, HT_IFMAC
expected_mac_address = 'xx:xx:xx:xx:xx'
if get_hd_info(HT_IFMAC) != expected_mac_address:
    sys.exit(1)

Check internet time by NTP server, expired on 2019-2-2

from ntplib import NTPClient
from time import mktime, strptime

NTP_SERVER = 'europe.pool.ntp.org'
EXPIRED_DATE = '20190202'

c = NTPClient()
response = c.request(NTP_SERVER, version=3)
if response.tx_time > mktime(strptime(EXPIRED_DATE, '%Y%m%d')):
    sys.exit(1)
