Decoding the obfuscated bash script on a Uniqlo t-shirt(tris.sherliker.net)

Cool! I bought one a few months ago as soon as I spotted it at a Uniqlo store, and later ordered a larger size online—I really love wearing them. But it never occurred to me to look into the story behind them.

Could have saved 50% with 'base64 -d | gzip -d'

Maybe useful for those XS sizes.

Nice!

Might have to do something like that for a verse on the next Carolina Code Conference shirt. Been trying to figure out a good way to pull in cybersecurity.

The real threat model here isn't the base64 payload, it's Uniqlo turning a T-shirt into a QR code that requires a human OCR pipeline to redeem.

there's no newline between the shebang and the actual code

I don't understand the font bit. This is a terminal script, it uses the font that your terminal uses?

Your terminal doesn't typically use Consolas. You can do:

    $ wget  https://archive.org/download/PowerPointViewer_201801/PowerPointViewer.exe
    $ cabextract PowerPointViewer.exe
    $ cabextract ppviewer.cab
    $ open CONSOLA*.TTF
and use Consolas on Linux, but it's not available by default.

What they're suggesting is that a lot of their users are logging into an Akamai Linux box from a Windows machine, and therefore aren't "real Linux geeks".

They're talking about the font on the shirt

What Bash blog would be complete without some Windows trash-talk?

Phew! I was hoping it was not a novel way of spreading a malicious script!

After being primed by the article, I read the author's name as "Shirtliker"...

That's a new one and oddly apt :)

Consider ordering online. I see the product in the Uniqlo France store: https://www.uniqlo.com/fr/fr/products/E480814-000/00?colorDi...
