The Beep part was the hardest part for me, and then after that there's still a few more steps. It just doesn't let up.

It's an encrypted image file that needs to be decrypted.

Can you pls guide me through this c2 thing i got traffic in burp but did;t see any decryption or encryption algorithum in apk code

You need to decompile it using jadx or dex2jar + jd-gui. You can spot decryption method written in Java in short time. Then try to figure it out how does the key come.

@kelsier1999 - Look at my and @onecok3's previous messages on channel 2. Decompile with jdx, load it into JDX-GUI or IntelliJ or something, find references to the C2 URL (It's not a real C2 URL, the URL is used to build strings for a decrypt function), look for the decrypt function.

I think it count as self harm

Agreed. Crazy painful. I lost my sanity with 3 a long long time ago. Where are you at with it right now?

Keep fucking with the beep api, shellcode seems broken so i guess i need to fix every byte somehow

I think it's about find the correct argument supplied to the program so that won't crash.
