Detaped is a Python disassembler and decompiler for Duktape (GitHub). The intended use is for source code review and analysis in situations where you only have the compiled Duktape bytecode binary, such as in a black-box assessment.
- Parses JSE file format
- Disassemble JSE binary, or directory of binaries
- Produces ASM style instructions (one-to-one bytecode mapping)
- Produces low-level JavaScript "like" output
- Decompiler produces basic high-level JavaScript "like" output
- v2.7.0

input
Duktape JavaScript bytecode decompiler
positional arguments:
input The Duktape bytecode file or directory to be decompiled.
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
The decompiled output JavaScript file or directory.
-a ASM, --asm ASM The output JavaScript ASM file or directory.
-t TXT, --txt TXT The command output text file.
-n, --no-ansi Disable ANSI color output.
-v {none,normal,debug}, --verbosity {none,normal,debug}

--disable-double-return
Disables grouping return undefined after return.
The following diagram shows how a simple JavaScript file is transformed into the various states.
- Compilation - The original file is compiled using Duktape into bytecode.
- Parser - The bytecode file structure is parsed using Detaped.
- Disassembler - The parsed bytecode is disassembled into an ASM like file.
- Decompiler - The disassembled data is decompiled to a JavaScript like file.
- Grouping - Common decompiled patterns are grouped to a higher-level JavaScript like file.
