Could you build this?
Partial Building a CLI with encrypted credentials and confirmation UI is straightforward, but reverse engineering KakaoTalk's proprietary, heavily guarded network protocol and handling bot-detection/anti-abuse requires non-trivial protocol reverse engineering.
What it would actually take: A functioning KakaoTalk headless client requires reverse-engineering the LOCO/LOCO-TLS binary protocol used by KakaoTalk clients, maintaining device registration signatures, and spoofing Android/Windows client device handshakes. The implementation typically uses Node.js or Go with custom socket handlers, AES/RSA crypto pipelines matching Kakao's obfuscated keys, and a local SQLite database for session state. Expertise in protocol reverse engineering, network packet inspection (Wireshark/Frida), and cryptographic implementations is essential.
