Static deobfuscation of "PROTECT BY NONAME" — a 6-layer Python protector. Layers peeled (no code executed, pure bytecode inspection): 1. Hex-escaped imports → zlib, base64, marshal 2. Base85 decoding → 1069-byte encrypted blob 3. XOR decryption → 32-byte cyclic key (a8a250...0133) 4. zlib decompression → 1571 bytes of marshal data 5. Marshal deserialization → Python code object 6. Variable name demangling → _Ω + random suffix → real names Result: The recovered program is a rainbow text animation displaying "hello" with cycling HSV colors via ANSI 24-bit escape sequences. Automated solver and 22 unit tests included in the zip.
