I hate malware. I found two Android apps using an obfuscator loaded via JNI (libjiagu_64.so) which crashes on startup (on GrapheneOS) and I am at a loss at what to do next which doesn't involve send reports into the void hoping it reaches an human with the time, skills and willingness to check what is really going on.

That sounds familiar, I used <https://github.com/Cloudef/android2gnulinux> to reverse one libjiagu program in past. The deobfuscated code eventually ends up in the ram, and you can then extract it.

I encourage you to cease contributing to the enshittification of the web.

Also, what did you expect from cheap no-name IoT shit? As we say, the S in IoT stands for Security...

I'm sorry I don't earn enough to hire a maid but still like to write blog posts :(

Ok I could have been less snarky.

What I meant is, I have ideas I like to explore but a two-liner blog post won't entice anyone.

For example on https://user934.com/2025/04/22/securing-home-and-smb-network... I mix several ideas together and define the test plan (chapter 5), and let LLM fill in the blanks. Plus I clearly identify it as mostly written by LLM, which is better than most SEO garbage spam. So I think I've achieved a good compromise.

you’ve taken a slightly smaller shit on the floor than the seo slop factory next to you. do you want a medal?

yes, you purist! :)
