Obfuscator (discontinued)

[Proph]

It works perfectly now. Thanks Jos!

Edit:

BTW,

Do these exist in v1.0.21?

#Obfuscator_Ignore_Funcs=

#Obfuscator_Ignore_Variables=

I tried to test them but during compile it says they do not exist.

Edit2: I ignored the warnings that these do not exist and tested anyways. It works! Very well in fact. I will be testing it some more this week. I will keep you posted. As for the warnings I suppose they are only there because these new features are only in the testing stages and are not yet officially a part of obfuscator.

I had a problem with OnAutoItStart causing a runtime error

I found a solution by editing the obfuscated script,

but other posts in this thread indicate OnAutoItStart is now supported.

(i.e. function isn't renamed, string declaration moved into top of functions etc.)

is this fix I came up with or something like it supposed to be done by the obfuscator code

and somethings not working on my AutoIt/SciTe install?

compiled on 2 pc's with same versions of AutoIt3/SciTe/Obfuscator

Using: AutoIt3 v3.2.8.1, Obfuscator.exe v1.0.22.0, SciTE4AutoIt3 v1.74 09092007 full install

reproducer example from the help file illustrates this on my system.

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_Obfuscator=y
MsgBox(0,"","first statement")
;#Obfuscator_Off    ; works if I use #Obfuscator_Off  and #Obfuscator_On or comment out all lines in OnAutoItStart in this and any other script

I have been playing with the thought of adding an option to remove all "Global" records from the inputscript and its includes since Obfuscator has this Information internally already available.

As you (might) know, Obfuscator already has a switch /SF that will tell Obfuscator to remove the Unused Functions.

This Beta version has 2 extra switches:

/SV /StripUnusedVars 1 ; Remove All "Global ???" Lines when all declared variables are unused by the script. (Default = 0)

/SO /StripOnly ; Set the options to: /SF /SV /CV=0 /CF=0 /CS=0 /CN=0

So when you add these lines to the top of your script:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_run_obfuscator=y
#Obfuscator_parameters=/striponly

Obfuscator will Merge the Inputscript and the Included files into Scriptname_obfuscated.au3 and Strip all:

- UnUsed Func 's

- Unused Vars

- Comments

- Leading Spaces/Tabs

This will substantially reduce the output EXE size.

It will do a couple of Iterations that will first remove the unused Func. Then Iterate till there are no more Variables the remove. That normally takes 2 iterations.

As Example this script:

#include<date.au3>
MsgBox(0,"Current Date",_Now())

Will produce a 323Kb exe.

and this version:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_run_obfuscator=y
#Obfuscator_parameters=/striponly
#include<date.au3>
MsgBox(0,"Current Date",_Now())

Produces a 254 Kb exe.

The Log in SciTE will show this information:

Hi Jos,

I have run the obfuscator with the

#AutoIt3Wrapper_run_obfuscator=y
#Obfuscator_parameters=/striponly

parameters on a reasonably complex program.

The program compiled without problems and still runs fine.

It saved me 121627 bytes on the executable.

I hope this helps.

Thanks, Dick

I need people to test this version and give me feedback before I will release it in the standard SciTE4AutoIt3 installer.

I tested it quickly:

- it's quite slow --> dozens of seconds when included <A3LTreeView.au3> --> but that's information only not bug

- removes #AutoIt3Wrapper_icon=someicon.ico directive from output _Obfuscated.script (but EXE has proper icon) - ??

- there were no problems/errors with my scripts

This is really awesome!! Good work.

I don't need Project Manager tool anymore.

Idea: Make some keyboard definition for placing

#AutoIt3Wrapper_run_obfuscator=y

#Obfuscator_parameters=/striponly

into script (at cursor position)

It's definition place in au3abbrev.properties

Does a lot of processing but I am working on some optimization at this moment... but it will never be a lot faster since it reads all syntax lines and need to lex them all to find out what Funcs and Vars are really used...

- removes #AutoIt3Wrapper_icon=someicon.ico directive from output _Obfuscated.script (but EXE has proper icon) - ??

- there were no problems/errors with my scripts

Thats simple because AutoIt3Wrapper reads all directives first before processing Obfuscator and knows what to add in the next steps

#AutoIt3Wrapper_run_obfuscator=y

#Obfuscator_parameters=/striponly

Could be done... Mhz is maintaining the standard abbreviations file and helpfile page till now although I have not seen him around much lately . Edited November 28, 2007 by Jos

Holy sh!t !!!

My original exe without obfuscation was 476 KB

After Obfuscation using the new beta switch my file size is only 332 KB !!!

You are amazing Jos!

Allthough when I view the ScriptName_Obfuscated.au3 afterwards it doesn't look very Obfuscated anymore. Is this normal?

So then I compiled my script using the new ScriptName_Obfuscated.au3 using the obfuscator without /striponly which creates a new ScriptName_Obfuscated_Obfuscated.au3 that is Obfuscated and the new file size is now only 485 KB. which is still very much smaller than an original exe compiled with the Obfuscator.

Thanks a lot.

BTW I notice that Scite still complains about:

#Obfuscator_Ignore_Funcs and #Obfuscator_Ignore_Variables=

being Invalid Compiler directives even though they seem to function perfectly (even with using the /striponly switch.

That is what /Striponly does... only strip the script.

Use: /sv /sf (or /StripUnusedFunc /StripUnusedVars) to Strip and do the standard Obfuscation ...

#Obfuscator_Ignore_Funcs and #Obfuscator_Ignore_Variables=

You mean they don't show up in the AutoComplete dropdown box and down color correctly? .... will fix that in the AutoitInstaller tables.

Uploaded v 1.0.24.1 which has some speed improvement for the different steps but it will still be "slow"since it has to process each line to find out if Funcs or Vars are used in Functions like IsDeclared(), GUICtrlSetOnEvent ( controlID, "function" ) ect...

1.0.24.1 Gives me an invalid Func name when I try to use it. But 1.0.24.0 seems to work fine. I think 1.0.24.1 is a tad quicker... but 1.0.24.0 seemed to be a tad smaller in final file size. I can't zip up the source right this second but I will send it to you later if you need it.

Thanks

Updated the Beta Obfuscator fixing an issue with "Global " lines that have continuation characters at the end.

Thanks. It's OK and also OnAutoItStart() works OK.
