Project Overview
We are seeking an experienced reverse engineer to help restore functionality to a legacy Windows application built with Python and packaged using PyInstaller.
The original licensing servers are permanently offline due to the project being abandoned after a business dispute. This is a legitimate continuity/restoration request for private use.
Scope of Work
- Analyze a PyInstaller-packed Python 3.11 executable
- Identify and document the existing license validation logic
- Restore full application functionality where licensing blocks execution
- Implement a new private license system (API-based)
- Secure backend API and simple web dashboard/storefront
Technical Notes
- PyInstaller archive already extracted
- Custom obfuscation present beyond standard PyInstaller
- Original application communicated with a remote JSON API for licensing
- No source code or documentation available
Ideal Candidate
- Strong Python reverse engineering experience
- Familiar with PyInstaller internals and .pyc analysis
- Comfortable dealing with obfuscation
- Able to clearly document findings and changes
Budget & Timeline
- Budget: Flexible (mid–high range depending on experience)
