note nferraz Here's a small trick to deobfuscate code directly from vim, using B::Deparse. All you have to do is to put this in your vimrc: <code> " Deparse obfuscated code nnoremap <silent> _d :.!perl -MO=Deparse 2>/dev/null<cr> vnoremap <silent> _d :!perl -MO=Deparse 2>/dev/null<cr> </code> Now, whenever you want to deparse a portion of the code, just press _d. For example, this line: <code> --$|&&s|\n|-|; </code> Magically becomes: <code> s/\n/-/ if --$|; </code> I find this particularly useful when I have to work with code that abuses Perl's TIMTOWTDIness: <code> $foo and $bar or $baz = 1; </code> (Now imagine a three-lines long statement where the attribution comes at the end.) Using B::Deparse, the code becomes more legible: <code> $baz = 1 unless $foo and $bar; </code> Unfortunatelly, B::Deparse has it own limitations; but I think this technique can be really useful in some situations. 540167 540167
