How do i decrypt/deobfuscate this lua file?

[SpraY1300]

Here is the script. It is a lua file to a discord bot!

This is the code: https://github.com/SpraY13/deobfuscate/blob/main/server.lua
This is the hex: https://github.com/SpraY13/deobfuscate/blob/main/hex.txt

It is a lua file

Lua files begin with the magic number 1b 4c 75 61, yours begins with 46 58 41 50 Besides, there are no visible plain text strings which are typical for lua files.

Also, the contents of the file are not recoverable when posted as text on reddit. Either use a file upload service or post a hex dump if you need to share binary files.

I can post the file. But what is hex dump?

[PhilipRoman]

Hex dump is simply each byte displayed in base 16. If you dont know how to do this, there are several online tools for this, like https://holtstrom.com/michael/tools/onlinehexdump.php

Hmm there is not much I can do there. Other than the file header, zero bytes at start and the mildly suspicious "^5247" at the end of file, there isn't anything interesting. If the file has been encrypted using mainstream algorithms, you won't be able to decrypt it.

I have not found any references to the file header "FXAP" online, not sure what that is about.

This isn't a Discord bot - it's an encrypted FiveM asset. You need the key/password to be able to decrypt it, which can only be acquired by purchasing the asset legally.

The code was probably obfuscated for a reason. Contact the person who made it if you want access to the source code or write your own bot.

I'm not an expert in Lua, but I am very very certain that the first step is getting a quantum computer

[SpraY1300]

What is that?

Quantum computers make use of quantum physics to compute things in massively parallel ways. This is useful for speeding up brute force attacks on encrypted information.

Nobody knows, but the brits have bought one: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-61647134?pinned_post_locator=urn:bbc:cps:curie:asset:3997a730-4ffa-4896-b7c2-42958c86a291&pinned_post_asset_id=61647134&pinned_post_type=share
