stecman

This is a technique for extracting all imported modules from a packaged Python application as .pyc files, then decompiling them. The target program needs to be run from scratch, but no debugging symbols are necessary (assuming an unmodified build of Python is being used).

This was performed on 64-bit Linux with a Python 3.6 target.

Theory

In Python we can leverage the fact that any module import involving a .py* file will eventually arrive as ready-to-execute Python code object at this function:

PyObject* PyEval_EvalCode(PyObject *co, PyObject *globals, PyObject *locals);

Date/time from GPS without storing NMEA string

This is a first pass at reading the date and time from a serial GPS device on a tiny microcontroller. The target device is an ATTiny13A with only 64 bytes of RAM, which isn't enough to store the full 79 characters of a NMEA sentence, so something like minmea wouldn't work (their API passes around full sentence strings).

When compiled with avr-gcc -Os, this is around 500 bytes of program space. The size can be reduced by 100 bytes if the handling of checksums is removed.
