            That your cast's operand is a COM object (as evidenced by System.__ComObject being reported as the object type in the error message) may be the source of the problem, because I don't think PowerShell can cast COM objects to other types.

            However, given that PowerShell can dynamically discover members on objects, in many cases where C# requires casts, PowerShell doesn't (and casts to interfaces are no-ops in PowerShell, except when guiding method overload resolution). Similarly, there's no (strict) need to type variables.[1]

            Thus, as you've confirmed, simply omitting the cast of $thMainPipe.InnerObject to type [Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.Wrapper.MainPipe] worked:

            Time-dependent, repeatable pseudo-random number
            Asked 2022-Feb-11 at 16:06

            I need to generate a repeatable pseudo-random number that is dependent on the current time and a server secret. For example, this mechanism should generate a new pseudo-random number every minute. The next minute's random number should not be easily predictable.

            Furthermore, I need to solve this in a stateless fashion (e.g., without storing a generated value in a database). It is possible that a server node might be asked to create such a number multiple times within the same minute, and it needs to generate the same number each time. Also, multiple server nodes (with the same server secret) need to generate the same number within a given time frame. The purpose of all this is not related to solving a security problem (e.g. a token generator), so it's not strictly necessary to use cryptographically secure PRNGs.

            Linear-congruential PRNGs produce repeatable series of numbers when initialized with the same seed, so I could seed the PRNG with the combination of time and server secret and get the first random number it produces to meet my criteria. However, this type of PRNG typically uses a simple formula of next = (current * multiplier + offset) & mask, and, given a few known times and corresponding random numbers, it seems like it would be not all that hard to figure out the server secret (and then predict all future numbers in advance).

            To make this sort of reverse engineering harder, I pull and discard a fixed number (e.g., 1000) of values from the freshly seeded PRNG before I get the "real" random number that I use. My thinking is that reverse-engineering 1000 cycles of next = (current * multiplier + offset) & mask would be significantly more difficult that reverse-engineering just a single cycle.

            I am wondering if my thinking here is even correct. Is it true that figuring out a linear-congruential PRNG's seed is more difficult based on the 1000th value after seeding than it is for the first value of a freshly seeded generator? If so, how many iterations are sufficient before it stops increasing the difficulty?

            If I'm completely off here, what are some better alternatives that fulfill the above stated criteria (repeatability, statelessness)?

            In a way, this is how Time-based one-time passwords (TOTPs) work, so you can use a similar solution.

            To get a time value that changes every N seconds, you can use the following formula.

            floor(timestamp / N)

            Then, you can either turn that into a string or interpret it as bytes. Just pass it to something like HMAC in order to turn it into a pseudo-random value.

            HMAC(SecretKey, floor(timestamp / N))

            Here's a simple implementation in Python. This should be fairly similar in other languages too.

            How to securely store a hardcoded API key on Android?
            Asked 2022-Jan-03 at 11:06

            In my Android project, I want to store an API key in a secured manner. That key is generated from outside the app and need to be stored somehow in the app before building the app.

            I've seen some examples of how to use the KeyStore (like this or this), but as far as I understand, those are solutions to store secret keys generated during runtime, and not keys that I would store somewhere in my code.

            I've also checked the other methods explained here, but they look like the API key could quite easily be retrieved thanks to reverse engineering.

            I also don't want to store my key in my code, also because it could easily be retrieved via reverse engineering.

            The purpose of it is to be able to send that key everytime I call a webservice that I've made, so I'm sure (or almost sure) that the call comes from the original app that I'm making and that will be published on the Play Store, and not from elsewhere.

            I'm far from being a security expert, so any help would be appreciated.

            YOUR CHALLENGE

            The purpose of it is to be able to send that key everytime I call a webservice that I've made, so I'm sure (or almost sure) that the call comes from the original app that I'm making and that will be published on the Play Store, and not from elsewhere.

            This is a very hard task to achieve, but not impossible one and here is where one needs to make a deep dive in mobile API security and understand the mechanics behind it.

            It's fundamental to have a clear understand between the difference of who is in the API request versus what is making that API request, otherwise any security solution you may devise/use may not have the intended results.

            The Difference Between WHO and WHAT is Accessing the API Server

            I wrote a series of articles around API and Mobile security, and in the article Why Does Your Mobile App Need An Api Key? you can read in detail the difference between who and what is accessing your API server, but I will extract here the main takes from it:

            The what is the thing making the request to the API server. Is it really a genuine instance of your mobile app, or is it a bot, an automated script or an attacker manually poking around your API server with a tool like Postman?

            The who is the user of the mobile app that we can authenticate, authorize and identify in several ways, like using OpenID Connect or OAUTH2 flows.

            So, you need to think about the who as the user your API server will be able to Authenticate and Authorize access to the data, and you need to think about the what as the software making that request in behalf of the user.

            REVERSE ENGINEERING

            I also don't want to store my key in my code, also because it could easily be retrieved via reverse engineering.

            That's very true, it's more or less easily achieved depending on the method used to hide the API key, as per the ones you mention:

            I've also checked the other methods explained here, but they look like the API key could quite easily be retrieved thanks to reverse engineering.

            No matter how secure the API key has been stored, be it in the Android Keystore, encrypted, obfuscated, etc, at some point the API key will need to be in plain text to be sent on the API request header, and in this moment it will be vulnerable to be extracted via static reverse engineering, via a MitM attack or via an instrumentation framework

            I have wrote the article How to Extract an API key from a Mobile App with Static Binary Analysis to illustrate how easy it can be done:

            The range of open source tools available for reverse engineering is huge, and we really can't scratch the surface of this topic in this article, but instead we will focus in using the Mobile Security Framework(MobSF) to demonstrate how to reverse engineer the APK of our mobile app. MobSF is a collection of open source tools that present their results in an attractive dashboard, but the same tools used under the hood within MobSF and elsewhere can be used individually to achieve the same results.

            During this article we will use the Android Hide Secrets research repository that is a dummy mobile app with API keys hidden using several different techniques.

            I also wrote another article to achieve it during runtime, Steal that Api Key with a Man in the Middle Attack:

            In order to help to demonstrate how to steal an API key, I have built and released in Github the Currency Converter Demo app for Android, which uses the same JNI/NDK technique we used in the earlier Android Hide Secrets app to hide the API key.

            So, in this article you will learn how to setup and run a MitM attack to intercept https traffic in a mobile device under your control, so that you can steal the API key. Finally, you will see at a high level how MitM attacks can be mitigated.

            An instrumentation framework can also be used during runtime to hook into the code that uses the API key in order to extract it. For example with the popular Frida framework:

            Inject your own scripts into black box processes. Hook any function, spy on crypto APIs or trace private application code, no source code needed. Edit, hit save, and instantly see the results. All without compilation steps or program restarts.

            So, no matter what it's done to secure the API key, once it's on the API request will be vulnerable to be extracted.

            MOBILE API SECURITY

            Anything that runs on the client side and needs some secret to access an API can be abused in different ways and you can learn more on this series of articles about Mobile API Security Techniques. This articles will teach you how API Keys, User Access Tokens, HMAC and TLS Pinning can be used to protect the API and how they can be bypassed.

            POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

            I recommend you to read this answer I gave to the question How to secure an API REST for mobile app?, especially the sections Hardening and Shielding the Mobile App, Securing the API Server and A Possible Better Solution.

            The possible best solution for your problem is known by Mobile App Attestation, that will let your backend know that what is making the request is indeed a genuine and untampered version of your mobile app, as you wish to achieve:

            The purpose of it is to be able to send that key everytime I call a webservice that I've made, so I'm sure (or almost sure) that the call comes from the original app that I'm making and that will be published on the Play Store, and not from elsewhere.

            Answered 2021-Dec-18 at 00:20

            Obfuscation is all about renaming your human-readable classes and functions into something meaningless to a human. Machines don't care about names but people trying to reverse engineer your code would have a much harder time.

            On the other hand, when your app crashes, the Google Play Developer Console would log this crash for you to inspect and debug. But as the final user has an obfuscated version of your app, the report sent to you is written with meaningless names and you cannot debug it.

            Now, the debug symbols map are used internally by the Play Console to resymbolize the crash report into human readable class names so you can debug it easily.

            TLDR: Upload the debug symbols. They allow you (the developer) to debug ofuscated crash reports and are only available (indirectly) to you, not people trying to reverse engineer your app
