Evil MSI Background: BASE64 Statistical Analysis, (Mon, Jun 15th)

A technical walkthrough demonstrating the discovery and extraction of a Windows PE executable embedded in a JPEG via a custom Base64-like encoding and reversal. The author uses and enhances tools (byte-stats.py, base64dump.py with a new --stats option, translate.py) to identify character substitution and reversed encoding, reverse the payload, and confirm the extracted PE matches a previously-observed sample.
