viz-image-deobfuscate 0.1.4

Deobfuscate Viz-style manga images.

Viz Manga Deobfuscator

Viz manga pages are delivered to the browser as obfuscated images and the client JS is responsible for deobfuscation of those images for the viewer to read. This program reproduces the deobfuscate logic to produce a readable image.

obfuscated image:

deobfuscated image:

The image Exif metadata stores a hex digest to deobfuscate the image. Using the each byte value of the digest with it's position in the digest, we can select the appropriate tile in the obfuscated image and put it in the proper place in the deobfuscated image.
