![]() Once you have added layers of encryption and thoroughly debugged the program, it's an excellent time to obfuscate it (note that an obfuscated source code is hard to maintain and update, so it's recommended to maintain the non-obfuscated version and obfuscate it before deploying a new version). Obfuscation should come last after everything else is implemented. Security always requires using several methods in conjunction with each other if one fails (or is hacked), the others will still maintain effective protection. With obfuscation, it may take longer and require more resources to find the 'needle' than just decrypting an encrypted string, which can be easily found in some cases. Obfuscation hides the needle in the haystack. When we obfuscate, we do not encrypt we are Hiding in Plain Sight. This is where obfuscation's advantage comes into play. You will achieve stronger security if you encrypt the strings and then decrypt them during runtime. Keep in mind that every lock can be broken, as at some point, anything encrypted must be decrypted to be used. The purpose of TinyObfuscate is to hide these strings.īefore we begin, remember obfuscation is NOT a form of encryption. If you take a typical executable and dive into it using any hex editor, Strings, or even Notepad :), you may find many strings among the binary data that reveal trade secrets, IP addresses, or other pieces of information, all in the form of strings you don't want to give away. The following source code-level string obfuscator can be helpful in such cases. Sometimes, you need to obfuscate strings in your program and don't want to use expensive and complex obfuscation tools (and there are quite a few out there). Obfuscation will make it harder to reverse engineer it and reveal the 'secret sauce' if your program uses an algorithm that is a trade secret. The purpose of obfuscators is to hide parts of a program's code, flow, and functionality in a way that will make them unintelligible. This article won second prize: Best C++ Article of October 2017 Introduction Download Obfuscated and original EXE - 28.1 KB.Michael co-owns internet agency Restruct Web, where he develops websites & apps (web & iPhone/Android). Manytools is a project by Michael van Schaik, a webdeveloper from Rotterdam (NL). Manytools is a collection of tools to automate the repetitive jobs involved in webdevelopment (or any other job). ![]() (Starting October 2017, Chrome (version 62) will show a “NOT SECURE” warning when users enter text in a form on an HTTP page, and for all HTTP pages in Incognito mode.) Today we finally got around to upgrading the site to run on HTTPS. Happy to inform that Manytools is now fully Chrome-62-ready, thanks Google! A secure connection had been due for a very long time. Our apologies for the inconvenience it has caused. This seemed like a nice way to support this website, but turned out to be far too much of a burden to our visitors. Thank you for your feedback on our (brief) test with browser based bitcoin mining.

These intermittent errors were a byproduct of the recent server move and have now been fixed.

So if you take it down it will simply be unavailable for a lot of legitimate users. I have no resources nor interest to fight back. AugTo the person(s) attacking this site: please stop ![]()
