Softcobra Decode

"Softcobra decode" refers to methods used to decrypt obfuscated, Base64 or AES-based download links for Nintendo Switch games formerly hosted on the SoftCobra website. Community-developed userscripts, such as the Nin10News decoder, were employed to automate the retrieval of these links before the site went inactive in 2021. Technical details and scripts can be found on Greasy Fork .

A multi-byte key is generated using a linear feedback shift register (LFSR). The transformed data is XORed byte-by-byte with this keystream.

The string uses only alphanumeric characters and ends with = , suggesting Base64. Length is 80 chars.
