The most advanced reverse engineering effort prior to Codex had been by GitHub user quat1024, an undergratuate student at Ohio State University, Minecraft modding extraordinaire and furry afficionado. Minecraft is written in Java, which may partly explains his Java skills.
He managed to deobfuscate the strings present inthe JARs using Enigma, possibly github.com/FabricMC/Enigma, a Java reverse engineering tool. Cool findings on web.archive.org/web/20110208072027/http://newsupdatesite.com/update.jar include:
  • applet.configs1 deobfuscated contains a date:
     Fri Feb 05 12:04:29 EST 2010
    Also cool is the present of a timeszone, "EST" unsurprisingly.
