It sounds like the author was aware of at least parts of your comment. The post is very thorough. They benchmarked using python and c++ and the final impl doesn’t even decode protobuf. They used various mitm solutions. They are using pfsense for more than just “it’s muh security router”—they are vlanning and vpning the traffic so they can target inly the appletv on their network.
Your comment is cheap and dismissive. The author’s post is not. You owe it to the community to put your money where your mouth is.

- lima 2y agoNot sure what kind of answer you are looking for? I did not criticize the author's post. It was an enjoyable read, and I personally would have given up a long time before going to such impressive lenghts. The fact that the app isn't using certificate pinning is really interesting and the sheer amount of hacker spirit and determination is extremely wholesome. I am, however, very familiar with this particular engineering challenge (specifically, attempting to build on pfSense and using mitmproxy scripts in production), so I wanted to share my personal experiences to hopefully save someone else some time and frustration while attempting the same thing. Should I not have commented at all?
- dcow 2y agoI mean, it doesn’t bring any actual value to the conversation so probably not. I was trying to be nice about it.
