Need assistance converting C++ to AutoIt

[Factfinder]

Hello,

I have been trying to convert this script: https://www.ntkernel.com/microsoft-edge-protectedhomepages/

The function will decrypt/unobfuscate value data set as the home page in MS Edge.

I'm not good at reading/understanding advanced C++ script.  So I can't read these two lines of script and couldn't find a C++ reference explaining similar value setting:

rand_seed = *(int*)input_buffer_ptr    

 moving_input_ptr = (BYTE*)((int*)input_buffer_ptr + 1)

 

I appreciate if anyone can assist in converting or pointing me to a reference explaining similar value settings. This is the part of script I'm working on:
