Getting Started, How to pirate on Pico 4 ?
Can someone clarify what "PP tools" are, and provide a link to them? I came across this link (https://apktool.org/) but I'm not sure if it's the right tool.

Reverse Engineering the Facebook Messenger API
Not sure. I started reverse engineering Java apps very early in my life — initially it was J2ME games. Decompilers of the time sucked but that didn't stop me from modding Gravity Defied :P
I honestly don't know what's a good way of getting started on reverse engineering. There's a bunch of everything about Windows executables in particular, including "crackmes", but native machine code is a level up from JVM bytecode. Java classes and Android dex files can be decompiled back to sensible source with a good chance that you get something that can be compiled again. No such luck for native code — C/C++ compilation is a lossy process by its nature, especially the optimizations. Ghidra does a decent job but still requires a non-zero amount of manual assistance. Flash games also were good to hone one's reverse engineering skills since ActionScript decompilers did a pretty darn good job.
Anyway. To decompile dex to Java source, there's jadx: https://github.com/skylot/jadx
Since decompilation is sometimes lossy, there's apktool for when you want to put the app back together after tinkering with it: https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool
It goes without saying that you also need a JDK and the Android SDK. In particular, you need apksigner form the SDK to sign the unsigned apks generated by apktool. You can also automate things a bit and use adb to deploy them to your device.
What I usually do is get a high-level overview of the app in jadx, and then modify the smali (dalvik bytecode in text form, very assembly-like) files generated by apktool.

Any legit cracking tutorial?
apktool: Decompile any app into smali, modify it and recompile it back. Here you do not need to edit smali, the JavaScript bundle is inside the assets folder.

apk.sh, make reverse engineering Android apps easier!
apk.sh basically uses apktool to disassemble, decode and rebuild resources and some bash to automate the frida gadget injection process. It also supports app bundles/split APKs.

Is there a way to decompile and rebundle an android bundle?
Apktool can unpack and repack an apk. https://ibotpeaches.github.io/Apktool/

how to modify tiktok app
Then decompile the apk. Use https://ibotpeaches.github.io/Apktool/ or similar. You have to decompile it with resources to smali. Smali is a programming language which looks like java binary code.

Use ApkTool to inspect your APK file when building for Android
I wasn't aware of apkTool before today. Randomly google removed our app from the store because we included the android.permission.QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES permission. It wasn't anywhere in our code so i assumed it was in a dependency but wasn't sure. Searching in VsCode didn't turn up anything.
- Vanced development team states that the reason why Vanced got shut down is because it's logo resembles original YouTube's logo and that's illegal. If that's the case, then it's the worst way to lose the best app. Also, were they trying to tell us something with this upper paragraph? [other]

CyberChef from GCHQ: The Cyber Swiss Army Knife
It uses a combination of magic bytes (like the `file` command), entropy analysis and character frequency detection to determine whether an output is likely to be of interest to the user.
The file type mechanism is written here[0]. There's a list of all signatures we detect here[1].

HTB - Pilgrimage Writeup
When we did cargo run "/etc/passwd" on the file we got an image with code injected into it. When we upload it to the server and download the "shrunken" version of it we can run identify -verbose {image} to get the outputting hex values of our input. Inputting it to something like CyberChef and converting it from hex to ascii we get this output:

Show HN: Firefox addon to quarantine a tab to use offline with private data
Many of the use cases mentioned are available through a single tool called CyberChef.
There is an online version [1] but it doesn't submit any data to any servers. It only loads JS for the operations it needs to perform.
You can also download it and run it offline [2]. This is what I do.
I'll leave it up to you to decide if this makes QuaranTab unnecessary or if it's the perfect reason to use QuaranTab.
