Exiting due to stream cancellation / Acoustic ep reader thread cancelled

[easrng]

I managed to get the API key by debugging Chrome and putting a breakpoint on the soda creation call (it starts with ce04 and ends with b6cb, right?), are there other binary modifications needed?

Here's the output I get from running ecasound -f:16,1,16000 -i alsa -o:stdout 2>/dev/null | ./gasr.py:

I never figured out the API key, you should just skip all the checks (used to be 3, now there are 4 i think) using a NOP sled or similar. And don't forget to init the variable that will hold the result of the checks to true instead of false.

[easrng]

Alright, got it working!!! NOPing out the checks was enough, you don't need to change a variable anymore. Also, wow ghidra is slowwwwwww.

[easrng]

Okay, you only need to set the variable if you don't have the API key.

@easrng could you please share how you managed to get the API key?

[biemster]

There is a function google_apis::GetSodaAPIKey() included from google_apis/google_api_keys.h on which you could set a breakpoint if you run chrome in a debugger, for starters. @brookhong If you need this to get soda working I would highly recommend the patch-the-lib route though, since there are other checks besides this one in place. Omitting the other checks basically gives you the omit api key solution for free.

@easrng could you please share how you managed to get the API key?

debugged chrome and put a breakpoint where it was setting up libsoda
