DataUnlocker's CLI

🛡️ DataUnlocker's command line interface utilities.

Requirements

Requires NodeJS v16+ to be installed, which comes with npx CLI runner.

Usage

$ npx -y dataunlocker patch

Patches a core JavaScript file of your web application.

DataUnlocker Defender tightly integrates with your web app's JavaScript code, specifically, your build artifacts or JavaScript libraries that your web app relies on. By design, each dataunlocker patch run should be embedded into your build pipeline to generate the newly obfuscated JavaScript file on every build run.

Follow these steps to install DataUnlocker Defender in your web app:

1. Get your DataUnlocker ID from DataUnlocker Admin.
2. Locate a core file (for example, file.js) which is loaded on all pages of your web application.
3. Patch it using the following command, ideally in your deployment pipeline.

npx -y dataunlocker patch file.js

This command requires you to input your unique DataUnlocker domain ID, either by env var DATAUNLOCKER_ID:

export DATAUNLOCKER_ID=000000000000000000000000

or via the --id flag:

npx -y dataunlocker patch file.js --id 000000000000000000000000

As a result, file.js will be replaced with its obfuscated version with DataUnlocker Defender baked in. A backup of the original file.js will be placed next to it, named file.js.backup by default.

Note:

• You can skip creating a backup file with --no-backup option.
• You can set a name for a backup file with --backup filename.js option.
• You can specify which endpoint to use for the patched code with --endpoint example.com/abcdef option (specify the endpoint URI without the protocol).
• If the backup file exists, its content will be used for patching.

Example

$ npx -y dataunlocker patch file.js --id 000000000000000000000000
