Ask HN: What simple tools or products are you most proud of making?
Made a python command line tool that decrypts and dumps assets from an indie video game called awesomenauts.<p>I started knowing next to zero in assembly, reverse engineering and crypto. Took me about two months -spread accross 2 years- of work and learning to do it. The game uses a modified AES crypto, just the key expansion was modified, probably so it can be different enough to not look like AES, but still benefit from hardware acceleration. It&#x27;s probably less secure than regular AES.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Nodja&#x2F;AwesomenautsFileDumper" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Nodja&#x2F;AwesomenautsFileDumper</a>
