# Create a Fernet object fernet = Fernet(secret_key)

Once you've successfully decrypted your .hc file, you'll have access to the plain-text configuration. This typically includes:

Before attempting decryption, you must understand what an .hc file contains and how the application handles it.

There are several reasons why you might need to decrypt HTTP custom files:

Tools like JADX-GUI (for PC) or MT Manager (for Android) to reverse-engineer the application logic.

“Exclusive” meant the protocol wasn’t standard HTTP. It was a hybrid: a custom TLS handshake wrapped in a fake User-Agent header, then padded with junk bytes to look like a corrupted JPEG.

If you've lost access to a config you legitimately created and need to recover it, the safest path is to contact the app's support with proof of ownership.

HTTP Custom is a popular Android VPN and tunneling client used to secure internet connections and bypass regional restrictions. Advanced users and configuration creators often export their settings into an encrypted .hc file format. When exported as an file, the content is heavily locked down to prevent sniffing, unauthorized sharing, or tampering.

These tools attempt to extract the payload, host, and port by bypassing the encryption header.

: The first step in decrypting a file is to know how it was encrypted. Common encryption algorithms include AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), RSA, and DES (Data Encryption Standard), among others.
