Reverse Engineering Tiktok's VM Obfuscation (Part 1)

Dropped a new blog post where I detail the start of my journey into TikTok's VM based obfuscation.

So far only covers the discovery of the script and how I dumped strings from each "program"

Reverse Engineering Tiktok's VM Obfuscation (Part 1)

TikTok has a reputation for its aggressive data collection. The platform has implemented various methods to make it difficult for reverse-engineers to understand exactly what data is being collected and how it is being used.

Thanks for a great RE journey. Quite disturbing how they go through all these loops to hide how much they send back and how they fingerprint everyone.
