wtf, is this just obscured javascript?

[-] [email protected] 22 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It looks like it's decompiled from something, so all the variable names are missing and instead presented with whatever index they had in the binary.

But that's just a wild guess. I don't know what actual decompiled code looks like.

Edit: scratch that, it's just obfuscated code to make it harder to copy.

I thought it was decompiled code at first to, but the function names are still real words. It's almost like it was manually obfuscated by replacing all the variable names.

I don’t think you’re far off because obfuscated code usually has less structured variable references.

An LLM could probably solve this much quicker than a human.
