UnicodeEncodeError when writing to log about pydecipher HOT 5 OPEN

Hey @mrihtar - Can you share the binary that caused the UnicodeEncodeError? Or the full traceback?

from pydecipher.

The suggested fix looks straight forward enough, but it would be good to reproduce the problem before trying to fix it. @mrihtar as @neil-orans suggested, if you can share a binary or even the hash of a binary (more than one would be even better) that we can download from VirusTotal that will cause the UnicodeEncodeError, that would be very helpful so that we can reproduce the problem, and also verify that the update actually fixes it.

I've uploaded the binary to VirusTotal, hash 6831bcc0f71ad753a0d829a95fbdc55ea392830cd9a999052362bc6d42fc3d67
At the moment I don't have other binaries. Binary was built with pyinstaller 4.4 (on python 3.9.4) and unpacked with pydecipher 1.0.0, which without the suggested fix fails like this:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    return _run_code(code, main_globals, None,

Thanks for sharing that file. I am not getting that error when testing within docker containers built from the python:3.9.2 or python:3.9.6 docker images. I'll try to set up a Windows test environment to see if I can reproduce the error there. Are you using Windows 10 with python 3.9.4? Also, what versions of python-xdis and uncompyle6 are you using?

Based on the testing I've done so far, even without the UnicodeEncodeError, unfreezing this file might also require some updates to uncompyle6 and/or xdis rocky/python-uncompyle6#355 rocky/python-uncompyle6#353 rocky/python-uncompyle6#331

from pydecipher.

I am using Windows 10 21H1, python 3.9.6 x64 (just updated), xdis 5.0.11 and uncompyle6 3.7.4. I have also environment variable PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8 . With this setup I am still getting this error, but not with my fix.

Regarding your second remark: for the final decompile (from .pyc) I am using pycdc (manually).
