Has anyone attempted this lab? I appear to be stuck after creating a python script to put the code through the loops - I can produce a deobfuscated block but have inspected it using both xxd and stri...
there are several steps you need to do.
- identify the block which you need to 'carve out' in binary
- then use routine #1 to process the data (tip: it's about swapping)
- then use routine #2 to further process the data (tip: it's about xor but not with the password pentioned in Q3)
- then use routine #3 to process the data (tip: it's about adding something to each byte)
and then I think you'll see it somewhere as string at the end of the output. xx.xxxxxxxx.tld
hope that helps.

RobNThanks for this - this is what I've already tried.
I've done each step of the offered solution and done both xxd and strings on the data although I wasn't looking for .tld. I shall try it again tonight using that as a search value as I used 'http' 'ftp' and '://' as search values.
Thanks again.
