# TODO: clean this file up more and heavily refactor ''' Helper functions for reverse engineering protobuf. Basic guide: Run interactively with python3 -i proto_debug.py The function dec will decode a base64 string (regardless of whether it includes = or %3D at the end) to a bytestring The function pb (parse_protobuf) will return a list of tuples. Each tuple is (wire_type, field_number, field_data) The function enc encodes as base64 (inverse of dec) The function uenc is like enc but replaces = with %3D See https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/encoding#structure Example usage: >>> pb(dec('4qmFsgJcEhhVQ1lPX2phYl9lc3VGUlY0YjE3QUp0QXcaQEVnWjJhV1JsYjNNWUF5QUFNQUU0QWVvREdFTm5Ua1JSVlVWVFEzZHBYM2gwTTBaeFRuRkZiRFZqUWclM0QlM0Q%3D')) [(2, 80226972, b'\x12\x18UCYO_jab_esuFRV4b17AJtAw\x1a@EgZ2aWRlb3MYAyAAMAE4AeoDGENnTkRRVUVTQ3dpX3h0M0ZxTnFFbDVjQg%3D%3D')] >>> pb(b'\x12\x18UCYO_jab_esuFRV4b17AJtAw\x1a@EgZ2aWRlb3MYAyAAMAE4AeoDGENnTkRRVUVTQ3dpX3h0M0ZxTnFFbDVjQg%3D%3D') [(2, 2, b'UCYO_jab_esuFRV4b17AJtAw'), (2, 3, b'EgZ2aWRlb3MYAyAAMAE4AeoDGENnTkRRVUVTQ3dpX3h0M0ZxTnFFbDVjQg%3D%3D')] >>> pb(dec(b'EgZ2aWRlb3MYAyAAMAE4AeoDGENnTkRRVUVTQ3dpX3h0M0ZxTnFFbDVjQg%3D%3D')) [(2, 2, b'videos'), (0, 3, 3), (0, 4, 0), (0, 6, 1), (0, 7, 1), (2, 61, b'CgNDQUESCwi_xt3FqNqEl5cB')] >>> pb(dec(b'CgNDQUESCwi_xt3FqNqEl5cB')) [(2, 1, b'CAA'), (2, 2, b'\x08\xbf\xc6\xdd\xc5\xa8\xda\x84\x97\x97\x01')] >>> pb(b'\x08\xbf\xc6\xdd\xc5\xa8\xda\x84\x97\x97\x01') [(0, 1, 10893665244101960511)] >>> pb(dec(b'CAA')) [(0, 1, 0)] The function recursive_pb will try to do dec/pb recursively automatically. It's a dumb function (so might try to dec or pb something that isn't really base64 or protobuf) and it's a mess right now so disclaimer. The function pp will pretty print the recursive structure: >>> pp(recursive_pb('4qmFsgJcEhhVQ1lPX2phYl9lc3VGUlY0YjE3QUp0QXcaQEVnWjJhV1JsYjNNWUF5QUFNQUU0QWVvREdFTm5Ua1JSVlVWVFEzZHBYM2gwTTBaeFRuRkZiRFZqUWclM0QlM0Q%3D')) ('base64', [ [2, 80226972, [ [2, 2, b'UCYO_jab_esuFRV4b17AJtAw'], [2, 3, ('base64', [ [2, 2, b'videos'], [0, 3, 3], [0, 4, 0], [0, 6, 1], [0, 7, 1], [2, 61, ('base64', [ [2, 1, b'CAA'], [2, 2, [ [0, 1, 10893665244101960511], ] ], ] ) ], ] ) ], ] ], ] ) make_proto will take a recursive_pb structure and make a ctoken out of it: - base64 means a base64 encode with equals sign paddings - base64s means a base64 encode without padding - base64u means a url base64 encode with equals signs replaced with %3D recursive_pb cannot detect between base64 or base64u or base64s so those must be manually specified if recreating the token. Will not have make_proto(recursive_pb(x)) == x if x is using base64u or base64s There are some other functions I wrote while reverse engineering stuff that may or may not be useful.
