This code is a JavaScript snippet that performs obfuscation and evaluates dynamic code, essentially hiding its purpose.
Breaking down the functionality:
-
Input String and Key:
i
is a string key"bdd65fd0865d8e48898806a4"
.j
is a long hexadecimal string containing encoded information.
-
Hexadecimal Decoding and XOR:
- The variable
j
is divided into chunks of 2 characters (pairs) using.match(/.{2}/g)
, producing an arrayu
where each element represents a byte in hexadecimal format. - A loop iterates over this array
u
, converts each hexadecimal byte into a number (parseInt(u[B], 16)
) and XORs it with the character from the keyi
usingi.charCodeAt(B % i.length)
. - The XOR operation produces decoded values, which are converted to characters using
String.fromCharCode
, storing them in an arrayT
.
- The variable
-
Join Decoded Characters:
- The array
T
is joined into a strings
, which is the decoded result of the initial hexadecimal stringj
using the keyi
.
- The array
-
Dynamic Function Evaluation:
- The
A
object is defined with atoString
method. Inside it:- A function is dynamically constructed using arrays of ASCII codes for the strings
'some'
and'constructor'
. These together refer to[].some.constructor
, which is effectively theFunction
constructor in JavaScript. - Using this constructor, the decoded string
s
is interpreted as JavaScript code that is executed.
- A function is dynamically constructed using arrays of ASCII codes for the strings
- The
-
Final Execution:
- The code execution is triggered when
A + ''
is evaluated, because it coerces the objectA
to a string, calling itstoString
method. This evaluates the decoded strings
as JavaScript code.
- The code execution is triggered when
Outcome:
The exact behavior depends on the decoded string s
, which remains obfuscated in the j
hexadecimal string.
Purpose:
This type of obfuscation is often used to:
- Hide malicious payloads (such as executing harmful scripts).
- Prevent reverse-engineering to make it harder to determine what code is doing.
Caution: Without knowing what the string s
contains after decoding, be very cautious when running this code. It could execute arbitrary, potentially harmful code depending on the content of s
.
