This code manipulates the current browser window's location by redirecting it to a new URL. Let's break it down:
-
String Concatenation: The given argument for
atob
(a base64 decoding function) constructs a base64-encoded string. The string is created by concatenating several parts into one complete base64-encoded value using a mix of single quotes ('
), double quotes ("
), backticks (`
), and string literals. -
atob
: Once the full string is constructed, theatob
function decodes this base64-encoded string into a UTF-8-decoded string, which results in the target URL. -
window.location.href
: The decoded URL is assigned towindow.location.href
, which causes the current browser window to navigate to the decoded URL.
Effectively, this code redirects the browser to another page, with the destination URL being obfuscated through base64 encoding and string concatenation.
To understand what the new URL is, you could manually decode the base64 string after reconstructing it:
The base64 string being reconstructed is:
aHR0cHM6Ly8ybTg4b2cuZGVib24uZXMvQXpBV0xpY0V0QUMzNzNOfj8k
Decoding that using atob
will give the URL.
Decoded URL:
https://2m88og.debon.es/AzAWLicEtAC3z3N~?$
Effectively, the browser will be redirected to this URL.
