Reverse Engineering TicketMaster's Rotating Barcodes (SafeTix)

Reverse Engineering TicketMaster's Rotating Barcodes (SafeTix)

“Screenshots won’t get you in”, but Chrome DevTools will. Click here to skip the rant and go straight to the nerdy stuff. I recently purchased tickets to a concert from TicketMaster. If they had issue

Or, I guess, another way to view it:

This is wild: Ticketmaster introduced 'non-transferrable' tickets, so resales would have to happen on its own platform (further monopolization). Now scalpers have worked with hackers to reverse engineer the barcodes, makes them transferrable https://t.co/VYqFPKrnz8

Crypto folks (hopefully) already know that Lazarus is one of the most prevalent threat actors targeting this industry.

They rekt more people, companies, protocols than anyone else.

But it's good to know exactly how they get in. Bc another smart contract audit won't save you. pic.twitter.com/8dqdF3HQIv

'...“few DO case officers ever recruit anyone. It's an extremely rare event. A CIA survey, covering the three decades prior to 1985 concluded that less than 5% of DO case officers recruited someone capable of producing protected, significant information”' https://t.co/W3yUh4KSfh

Funny to see them trying to hide and me simply detecting the method they use to hide their malicious payload
P.S.: probably some MSF payload but I don't really give af
P.P.S.: don't even try to triple base64 encode it bc I would still detect that craphttps://t.co/HNDbMumP4l pic.twitter.com/PCNksEDrK4
