External Read: Reverse Engineer Obfuscated Code
2-in-2 so far with back-to-back gems found in the wild that are worth sharing. Came across this one in Javascript Weekly, showing a walk through of debugging code to figure out how a pop-under service is getting around browser restrictions to serve those “oh-so-loved” pop-under’s.

jQuery Masonry
