GPT-5 mini: Got it — I'll provide a self-contained Python script that reads the cached JSON file (e.g., /tmp/megabasterd_folder_cache_uz410RTR), parses it, and performs the same decoding steps as the Java method (base64/url-safe conversions, node key decryption with the folder key, and attribute decryption) to output a map of nodes with h, type, parent, key, name, size. I need two pieces of information to produce a working script: 1. The folder key (the same string passed as folder_key in the Java method). 2. Whether the cache file is exactly at /tmp/megabasterd_folder_cache_uz410RTR or a different path.

GPT-5 mini: Likely cause: file nodes in MEGA use a different key layout—file node keys are XORed across two 16-byte halves (or stored as 32-byte JSON keys) and attribute decryption requires using the correct 16-byte AES key derived from that layout. The script treated every decrypted 16-byte block as the full node key, which works for folders but not files. I'll give a minimal fix: detect when node key material is 32 bytes (two 16-byte parts), derive the actual AES key by XORing the two 16-byte halves (per MEGA spec / common clients), then use that 16-byte result to decrypt attributes. Replace decrypt_node_key and the place that builds dec_key_b64 with this corrected handling. Patch to the earlier script — change these functions/blocks: 1) Replace decrypt_node_key with: ```python def decrypt_node_key(node_key_bin, folder_key_bin): # node_key_bin may be 16 or 32 bytes. # Decrypt each 16-byte block with folder_key_bin (AES-ECB). cipher = AES.new(folder_key_bin, AES.MODE_ECB) if len(node_key_bin) == 16: return cipher.decrypt(node_key_bin) elif len(node_key_bin) == 32: a = cipher.decrypt(node_key_bin[:16]) b = cipher.decrypt(node_key_bin[16:]) # actual key = XOR(a, b) return xor_bytes(a, b) else: raise ValueError("unexpected node_key_bin length") ``` 2) When computing dec_key_b64 and passing to decrypt_attributes, use the raw decrypted bytes directly (no extra encode/decode step). So replace: ```python dec_key = decrypt_node_key(node_key_bin, folder_key_bin) dec_key_b64 = bytes_to_url_b64(dec_key) at = decrypt_attributes(node.get('a'), url_b64_to_bytes(dec_key_b64)) ``` with: ```python dec_key = decrypt_node_key(node_key_bin, folder_key_bin) at = decrypt_attributes(node.get('a'), dec_key) ``` 3) Update decrypt_attributes to accept node_key_bin directly (already treated as bytes in the version below). For clarity, use: ```python def decrypt_attributes(attr_b64url, node_key_bin): if not attr_b64url: return None data = url_b64_to_bytes(attr_b64url) key = node_key_bin[:16] iv = b'\x00' * 16 cipher = AES.new(key, AES.MODE_CBC, iv) dec = cipher.decrypt(data).rstrip(b'\x00') text = dec.decode('utf-8', errors='ignore') idx = text.find('{') if idx != -1: text = text[idx:] return json.loads(text) ``` With those three changes the script will correctly derive file keys and decrypt file attributes (names). Try updating the script accordingly; if you want, I can send you the fully patched script. -------------------- User prompt 5 of 5 - 4/24/2026, 9:25:10 AM: Amount of folder about 5,000.
