Create a semi-automated script that:

Example pseudocode:

# Using x64dbg's Python bridge
def on_virtualprotect(args):
    if args.protect == PAGE_EXECUTE_READ and args.base == 0x401000:
        step_over()
        if is_oep(current_rip):
            dump_process("unpacked.exe")
            run_scylla()

Do not start the target directly. Instead: how to unpack enigma protector better

Instead of relying on stack traces or GetModuleHandle, use memory execution tracing: Disclaimer: This article is for educational purposes only

Advanced trick: Enigma’s loader decrypts sections in order: .enigma → .bind → original sections. The OEP is reached after all sections are decrypted. Set a breakpoint on NtProtectVirtualMemory with PAGE_EXECUTE_READ protection. When the original section’s virtual address becomes writable and then executable, dump that region – the OEP is within 0x1000 bytes of the start of that section. Example pseudocode: # Using x64dbg's Python bridge def

Enigma Protector obfuscates imports completely. The real IAT is either:
