Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

JS Deobfuscator VM

A specialized Node.js utility for deobfuscating JavaScript bundles (like those packed with obfuscator.io or similar string-array obfuscators) by executing the decryption routines safely inside an isolated Node.js vm context.

Overview

Modern JavaScript obfuscators often hide sensitive strings (API endpoints, keys, logic markers) by placing them into a shuffled string array and accessing them via a decoder function. Static analysis of these files is notoriously difficult because the string array is often shifted dynamically at runtime.

This tool bypasses the need for static analysis by:

  1. Extracting the string array and the decoder function from the target file.
  2. Wrapping them in an isolated Node.js vm context to safely execute the initial array shuffling.
  3. Exposing the decoder function so you can dynamically query it for decrypted strings.

Usage

const fs = require('fs');
const vm = require('vm');

// 1. Load the obfuscated bundle
const wallData = fs.readFileSync('wall_bundle.js', 'utf8');

// 2. Extract the string array and decoder function using string manipulation or regex
// (See decode_wall.js for an exact implementation tailored to a specific bundle)
// ...

// 3. Create a safe VM context
const context = vm.createContext({
    parseInt: parseInt,
    String: String,
    decodeURIComponent: decodeURIComponent
});

// 4. Execute the extracted logic in the VM
const decrypt = vm.runInContext(wrappedCode, context);

// 5. Query the decoder function to extract strings
console.log("vote_url:", decrypt(0xa21, 'A3Ms'));

Security Warning

Running arbitrary code from an obfuscated payload can be dangerous. This tool uses Node.js vm module to mitigate risks by isolating the execution context. Do not pass the global object or sensitive environment variables into the VM context.
