Tried to book a bar. Ended up reverse engineering a malware campaign instead.

A fake "Cloudflare verify" page copied an obfuscated PowerShell loader to my clipboard. So I broke it down:

XOR-obfuscated script
Payload delivery
RedCap infostealer analysis
REMnux, Ghidra & Hybrid Analysis

Also watched the infrastructure get taken down mid-write-up.

First time doing any RE
