Deobfuscating / Unminifying Obfuscated Web App / JavaScript Code

Some notes and tools for reverse engineering / deobfuscating / unminifying obfuscated web app code.

Reverse Engineering Webpack Apps

Some notes and techniques for reverse engineering Webpack (and a little bit about React/Vue/Angular) apps.

The script below is just copy pasted from here: https://github.com/grahampugh/macadmin-scripts (This is a jacked up version of the original found here: https://github.com/munki/macadmin-scripts)
Here is some nice documentation to use the script: https://derflounder.wordpress.com/2018/02/27/using-installinstallmacos-py-to-download-macos-high-sierra-installers/

If you don't want to download the tool or monkey around with permissions, give this a shot: (Provided you are dumb enough to pipe unknown code off the internet in sudo python of course):

sudo curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/grahampugh/macadmin-scripts/master/installinstallmacos.py | sudo python - --help

If you're downloading an installer for your current machine, do the following:

Ops. https://gitlab.com': terminal prompts disabled

Ops. Username for 'https://codeberg.org':

Ops. etc

If you see this message, there is a short solution how to fix it here. In my case it appeared and it did not want to get fixed by many ways that are offered on the internet.

Some of the pieces of advice that did not work:

Set git config --global --add credential.helper manager

	import { PrismaClient } from '@prisma/client';
	import type { User } from '@prisma/client';
	import { createPool, sql } from 'slonik';

	export const buildBaseConnectionURL = (config) => {
	return (
	'postgresql://' +
	config.DB_USER +
	':' +
	config.DB_PASS +

	@objc protocol ExampleActions: AnyObject {
	func pushUIKitViewController()
	}

	struct ExampleView: View {
	@FirstResponder private var firstResponder

	var body: some View {
	Button {
	firstResponder.sendAction(#selector(ExampleActions.pushUIKitViewController))

	#!/usr/bin/env bash

	echo "
	----------------------
	NODE & NPM
	----------------------
	"

	# add nodejs LTS ppa (personal package archive) from nodesource
	curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_lts.x \| sudo -E bash -

	// This file is based largely on the Runtime package - https://github.com/wickwirew/Runtime

	extension KeyPath {

	var fieldName: String? {
	guard let offset = MemoryLayout<Root>.offset(of: self) else {
	return nil
	}
	let typePtr = unsafeBitCast(Root.self, to: UnsafeMutableRawPointer.self)
	let metadata = typePtr.assumingMemoryBound(to: StructMetadata.self)

	<!DOCTYPE html>
