The approach involved reading the `FileSystemPreferences.java` source code to pinpoint the `dirName` (encoder) and `nodeName` (decoder) methods. Since `nodeName` is a `private` method, I wrote a custom Java script utilizing `java.lang.reflect.Method` to forcefully invoke it on the ciphertext. Finally, I bypassed modern Java module security constraints using JVM execution flags to allow the reflection to succeed.
