What does it do?
It unpacks, cleans up, and saves each module in TweetDeck as its own file.
Each file is exported to the ./unpacked folder, which is automatically created when you run TweetDeck Decompiler.
The magic sauce is not the unpacking, though. The magic sauce is the deobfuscator, which gives each module a human readable name, rather than just a number. Over 1000 modules as of writing are automatically deobfuscated, a number which continues to grow as more work is done. This is non-trivial because there are no actual names of modules within the code, nor do we have ahold of any debug symbols which could help us out.
Non-deobfuscated modules are still exported, but they're exported using a generic, sequential name corresponding to its module ID.
TweetDeck is comprised of over 2400 individual modules, and these modules are rolled into a couple webpacks.
- Node.js and NPM. You need the latest version, not LTS, because older versions don't yet support static functions within classes.
- Open your Terminal (PowerShell/cmd.exe on Windows)
cdinto the project directory- Run
npm install - Run
npm run fetchThis fetches TweetDeck's latest JS files automatically from the internet, placing them in./sources - Run
npm start - That's it! Exported files are available in
./unpacked. (and./unpacked_unformatted, useful for deobfuscation rule development)
Syntax error somewhere Be sure you are using the latest version of Node/NPM. See Installation Requirements for details.
