[Meta] Is there a way to get a Mega link from an image without using Megadownloader?

They use the F5 algorithm: https://github.com/desudesutalk/f5stegojs

They also encrypt the link using 256-bit AES, which is pretty secure: https://www.reddit.com/r/theydidthemath/comments/1x50xl/time_and_energy_required_to_bruteforce_a_aes256/

Here's the blog post about it: http://megadownloaderapp.blogspot.com/2015/11/megadownloader-and-steganography.html
TL;DR: You can't.

Of course can! Simply need to decompile megadownloader. If can be happen on computer from one program, can be happen from another source. Because no drm exist but not be broken.

you could do that, but what's the use? I mean, you could just run the damn thing, right?

another solution can be opensource. Which means guarantee of not secret spyware, btc miner, etc. Can run on linux without wine. Can be much simpler. Last I try to look at encrypted link in megadownloader, I have many menu to go through and click with mouse. Very hard when having many link (ex 1/episode in season of tv show). Whereas with simple own tool, can just paste paste paste get back link link link quick quick quick.

MEGA isn't popular enough in Linux for that to happen imo

If find out stenography algorithm use by megadownloader, then algorithm itself can be in javascript. Then be browser tool.

Check my main comment. It has the algorithm.

[-] thatloserhacker | 1 points | Sep 11 2017 10:01:03
