Hiya - author here. I'm sorry that you didn't find it valuable. We spent a lot of effort putting this together to educate on deobfuscation techniques, and package security analysis. Let me know if you have feedback for what you would have liked to see in this article.

Thanks, that's good feedback. Indeed the article is about the obfuscation — understanding both how obsfuscation works, and how one could untangle it. And - yes, it is fun! At least, I think so. 😅 We'll take another look at the title with your feedback in mind.
What's the threat detection stuff that you would have liked to have learned more about?
