He switched tactics. Instead of reading the bytecode, he had to reverse the interpreter . He began classifying the Handlers.

VMProtect is a code protection tool that uses a combination of encryption, compression, and virtualization to protect executable files. When a software developer uses VMProtect to protect their application, the tool encrypts the code and embeds a virtual machine (VM) into the executable. The VM executes the encrypted code, making it difficult for attackers to analyze the program's behavior. He switched tactics
Alex sat back. He had done the impossible. He had stripped the skin off the dragon. He wrote a patcher that hooked the VMProtect initialization in Seraphim , injected his own logic to bypass the hardware ID check, and hardcoded the Onion address into his own traffic analyzer.
