I have a file with content like this:
item({ ["attr"] = { ["size"] = "62091"; ["filename"] = "qBuUP9-OTfuzibt6PQX4-g.jpg"; ["stamp"] = "2023-12-05T19:31:37Z"; ["xmlns"] = "urn:xmpp:http:upload:0"; ["content-type"] = "image/jpeg"; }; ["key"] = "Wa4AJWFldqRZjBozponbSLRZ"; ["with"] = "email@address"; ["when"] = 1701804697; ["name"] = "request"; });
I need to know what format this is, and if there exists a tool in linux already to parse this or if I need to write one myself?
Thanks!

Not to worry; there’s definitely no sensitive information in here and it’s from a preprod environment.
(If you’re able to figure out a way to use that key field, you’re either going to get shot by the FBI or hired by the CIA.)
It is a file created that records information about files in another folder. I just want to extract some values from it. I would have expected this to be in like, xml or json. I believe the program that generated this file is written in Lua, but I don’t know Lua.
Security by obscurity is no security at all. You should really invalidate and change the key. I personally would fire you if I ever found out you leaked credentials and then did nothing about it.
This isn’t even an encryption key. It’s a unique name generated for the image. My guess is it uses the word ‘key’ because the ‘value’ is the image file.
This is also my preprod environment.
