Yep - same use case, too. I’ll keep persisting and see if I can get through.

Perun tier, through and through. Thank you.

Then ye be needin’ a crew. Argh!

Virtual machine testing is a good idea, but I wouldn’t rely on it. Well written malware will check for a virtual environment and might even hold off executing if it detects it. Better malware will have already gained persistence as your testing for it.

You can find plenty of bootleg printer ink around, you just have to ensure you have a printer that isn’t locked to the manufacturers ink.

First, I should note that I haven’t come across (Readium?) LCP before - so I don’t have experience with this particular method for DRM - I do however like to play with these sorts of things and have definitely come across some similar methods, etc.

I found a similar tool on GitHub which may help you to better understand what the process is for figuring out something like LCP: lcp-decrypt. I’m not sure how fresh your knowledge is on encryption - but it would help to have some knowledge of the process you’re trying to reverse engineer.

If you happen to find a sample with of non-copyrighted material that has some sort of encryption you’d like examined, I’d be happy to have a look for educational purposes.

Reddit’s unwavering stubbornness to continue spiraling is just plain sad. What a way to go.
