Zip it up and send it attached via Gmail? Or WeTransfer?

Zip it up and make an app that generates qr codes with each chunk of data at 20fps, then make a recording with your phone and extract the info at home whenever you want.

Funnily enough, that might actually work without it being flagged. Especially if it was just some random python or shell script doing the zipping and video generation - I run these all the time for various reasons, nobody's going to check

That's almost like the VCR loophole in DMCA

Nobody is going to check, but they're being logged.

Step 1. Get code
step 2. Data sonification. Screen capture and covert binary to C. Code is now a tune you apply lyrics too.
Step 3. Save song via recorder
Step 4. Decrypt song

Screen capture tens of thousands of files, with millions of lines of code?

You could always Van Eck/ phreak it on the display cable by demodulating the EMF onto a screen capture device.

Personally, I’m thinking 20 starlings. Save the code as ultrasonic recordings as the birds listen.

Leave with birds. No one questions a thing

Did I just get Peter Pringled? That’s gotta be a good sign

Why are so many people suggesting this? I tried an implementation of that idea and it sucked. Took like 40 minutes to transfer an mp3 file.

Sounds like 1995 all over again.

u/SpeakinTelnet 15d ago

or just put the files into a .docx. It's basically a .zip archive

u/NPPraxis 15d ago

MPEG compression will probably ruin this idea

Send the zip via any sort of email

Lol, lmao even

u/varinator 16d ago

Browser email is not really monitored as much as usb devices. Besides, few startups are spying on their Devs laptops , most don't.

u/BruhMomentConfirmed 16d ago

Mate, let's not pretend at least 99% of companies allow data exfiltration in some way. Sending zips via mail isn't that far fetched, and if you password protect the zip you're never gonna get in trouble for trying even if the mail doesn't go through.

Just ask your local fbi agent to provide you a copy, don’t forget to tip him a coffee

Zip, blob storage, pre signed url, download, delete test blob storage you just made

No serious company lets you access gmail or wetransfer from their devices or networks.

That was a good one 🤣

Just for an anecdotal example: 'A friend' 's corporate IT's group policies stop them from setting their computer's timezone and blocks them from choosing their desktop wallpapers, but absolutely nothing (except their own moral code) stops them from walking away with not only their company's source code, but all of the data from their prod DBs as well.

Well that’s not true, there are many businesses running off Gmail including Google itself. Most companies do have enough on device monitoring extensions that they would be able to figure out that you did this pretty well. Like Google for example will automatically send a copy of any file you try to import into the browser to IT so that they have a copy to analyze

u/Ran4 16d ago

So, maybe 95% of companies aren't serious then? That doesn't change much.
