9/ almost fell for a red herring, get_key() calls md5 with a tidy 12345678 sitting right beside it. too good to be true. it was. then i remembered it’s just a python module, so i imported it and asked. it handed the key straight over. hardcoded, same 8 bytes in every build.

10/ which means it protects nothing. recover that key once and every payload the loader ever sealed falls open. that’s the whole lesson of the old tier: a hardcoded key buys zero confidentiality.
