During the reverse engineering of an archive or an unknown file it may happen to see that it uses compression due to some parameters found in the index table and/or due to its "scrambled" content: Usually there are some tricks to know if it's a known compression algorithm, for example zlib starts with 0x78, lzma with 0x5d followed by some zeroes, lzss and lzo show parts of the uncompressed content and so on. But if we don't know the algorithm or we want to be sure of its name or we want to know what's the result which is closer to the original uncompressed file, we need to use the following script and bat file: http://aluigi.org/papers/bms/comtype_scan2.…

The example is a PNG used in the previous thread (the one showing "QUICKBMS") and attached to this thread. zlib It starts with 0x78 (rarely also with 0x58). Use offzip to test if it's really zlib. 78 da ed 8f 6b 48 53 61 1c c6 df 65 35 ed 32 8d x...kHSa...e5.2. 4a 49 9d 65 20 88 93 2d 13 ba a0 53 ab 85 5a b9 JI.e ..-...S..Z. 96 49 a2 76 d0 32 d7 cd a8 b9 72 a9 1d 2d fd 60 .I.v.2....r..-.` 65 84 a5 cd 4a 26 eb 2a 76 d9 64 5e 32 87 a7 bc e...J&.*v.d^2... deflate Usually starts with 0xe*.

We will look at the game Valkyrie Crusade. ID com.nubee.valkyriecrusade we look at the games files and they are encrypted. So 1st step is load it up in IDA pro or ghidra. This is a custom game engine so a good place to start is with a file open instruction if we search for that we find nb::File::openRead. /* nb::File::openRead(char const*, unsigned int*, nb::Drive::Base, nb::File::Filter) */ void * nb::File::openRead(char *param_1,uint *param_2,Base param_3,Filter param_4) { void *pvVar1; int iVar2; void *__ptr; void *local_50; Info aIStack76 [8]; void *local_44; File aFStack64 [8]; int local_38; void *local_34; local_50 = (…
