Generate Symantec VIP Access Token as OTP

Recently I came across a web service that required two-factor authentication using the Symantec VIP Access App. I already manage all of my OTP tokens in a different app (If you are on iOS I highly recommend using OTP Auth by Roland Moers.) and did not want to have to use yet another app to generate the TOTP.

There is a way to generate a Symantec VIP Access compatible token very easily if you have access to an environment which can run Python PIP. I happen to have Ubuntu Windows Subsystem Linux running on my machine. (If you are running Windows 10 and don't have this you should really check it out.) Let's get started...

hello

Instructions

Here we install python3-pip and qrencode so we can generate our secret, I

	#!/usr/bin/env python3
	# Verifies the SHA-256 hash of a downloaded file from (https://gitflic.ru/project/magnolia1234/bpc_uploads) against the hash in [release-hashes.txt](https://gitflic.ru/project/magnolia1234/bpc_uploads/blob/raw?file=release-hashes.txt).
	# 1. Downloads the hash file from the [HASH_URL] and extracts the expected hash for the correspondent [FILENAME].
	# 2. Downloads the zip-file [FILENAME] from [DOWNLOAD_URL] and calculates its SHA-256 hash.
	# 3. Compares the calculated hash with the expected hash.
	# 4. On match, prompts the user to move the file to a permanent location [DOWNLOAD_DIR].
	# 5. Moves and extracts the file if confirmed; otherwise, deletes the temporary file.
	# Note: Before running script, replace [DOWNLOAD_DIR] with permanent location on your computer that you use for your extension, excluding the extracted folder name [EXTRACT_DIR_NAME].
