## Python compiled executable

If a executable was compiled with pyinstaller, we can extract the python compiled code and actually decompile it.

To extract use:

{% embed url="<https://github.com/extremecoders-re/pyinstxtractor>" %}

```
python pyinstxtractor.py <filename>
```

And to decompile use Uncompyle6

* Tip: use a python venv

{% embed url="<https://github.com/rocky/python-uncompyle6/>" %}

```
uncompyle6 *compiled-python-file-pyc-or-pyo*
```
