Code Obfuscation Techniques, Tools, and Pitfalls to Avoid
What is Code Obfuscation? Code obfuscation is simply the method of modifying the source or machine code so as to make it difficult for attackers to read or comprehend it. While the functionality of the code remains the same, obfuscation helps coders in concealing the logic and purpose of the code effectively.
Encrypting some part of, or the entire code. Changing the class or variable names to some vague labels. Inserting some meaningless or unutilized code to the application binary. Hiding or removing potentially sensitive metadata.
