My first article on the PPPP protocol already said everything there was to say about PPPP “encryption”: Keys are static and usually trivial to extract from the app. No matter how long the original key, it is mapped to an effective key that’s merely four bytes long. The “encryption” is extremely susceptible to known-plaintext attacks, usually allowing reconstruction of the effective key from a single encrypted packet. So this thing is completely broken, why look any further? There is at least one situation where you don’t know the app being used so you cannot extract the key and you don’t have any traffic to analyze either. It’s when you are trying to scan your local network for potential hidden cameras. This script will currently only work for cameras using plaintext communication. Other cameras expect a properly encrypted “LAN search” packet and will ignore everything else. How can this be solved without listing all possible keys in the script? By sending all possible ciphertexts of course! TL;DR: What would be completely ridiculous with any reasonable protocol turned out to be quite possible with PPPP. There are at most 157,092 ways in which a “LAN search
