1. Download Dropbox and "install" it.

   $ cd ~
   
   $ wget https://dl-web.dropbox.com/u/17/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-2.3.22.tar.gz
   
   $ tar -xzf dropbox-lnx.x86_64-2.3.22.tar.gz

2. Build "dedrop". Switch to this repository and do,

   $ cd src/dedrop
   
   $ make
   
   $ cp libdedrop.so ~

3. Use LD_PRELOAD and inject libdedrop.so into Dropbox.

   $ cd ~
   
   $ export BLOB_PATH=.dropbox-dist/dropbox
   
   $ LD_PRELOAD=`pwd`/libdedrop.so .dropbox-dist/dropbox

4. De-compile the "fixed" bytecode files.

   $ uncompyle2 pyc_decrypted/client_api/hashing.pyc
   ...

5. Study the soure-code, find bugs and make Dropbox better!

• "While your submission was interesting, there has been other research on similar topics. There is nothing wrong with talking about the same topic more than once, especially one that has a large impact but if you are expanding on a topic, make sure to highlight how you are taking the research to a new level. Be clear with the review board about how what you are doing is extending the research." <= (apply this feedback to the paper and presentation).
• Looking deeper into the (Drop) box.
  • dump bytecode from memory (revive pyREtic).
