Translate binary data to readable code

[grave robin]

I decompiled an old runescape "hacktool" malware program just for fun and too see what it does, and it contained an encrypted file, enc.dat, and the key, key.dat, and what it does is it turns this enc.dat into a jar on a bunch of places on the computer.

I edited to code so that it will use the key to decrypt enc.dat and write the content to a text file, but its gibberish, probably binary code? Is there an easy way to translate this so its readable?

That's a jar

All jars start with 50 4b 03 04

and you can even see the manifest at 3rd line

oh yea i saw that

omg it worked with jd gui thank you

[silent whale]

Also, do all of that in a VM

You never know what could happen

[grave robin]

probably should yea

its so interesting to look inside it and see what it does

and to think someone sat down and wrote this 13 years ago

Is horrible to read, all methods and classes are just named from a-z

maybe its the decompiler that does that

[silent whale]

No, it was obfuscated

and thats the point where we have to tell u that its likely that the author of the code didnt want anyone to take a look and possibly change it

which means ur likely violating their ToS

which means for us that this is the point where we unfortunately can't help u anymore

[grave robin]

Even if its a malware?

[north gyro]

aye

[grave robin]

alright fair

[silent whale]

I doubt that the creator of the malware can sue

[grave robin]

the code is huge though it has over 30 classes

one of them is a keylogger

[silent whale]

Pretty sure that most of it is just nothing

an obfuscator makes code hard to read. it not only renames stuff, it also inserts bullshit code and other stupid stuff to make it hard to follow the flow and understand what's going on

the author doesnt want u to dig in their work. (puts on legal hat) u should turn around and stop
