Obfuscator (discontinued)

[Jos]

Hello Jos,

just downloaded and installed the latest SciTE version. Now I have a problem related to obfuscator I hadnt before .

Following example was obfuscated with Obfuscator build on 2008-Dec-08 (1.0.25?) without any problems. The new build of Obfuscator doesn't work anymore.

Thanks for you efforts!

Found the issue. This is was a clear case of fixing one thing and breaking another

Please try the current Beta v 1.0.26.13 available to see if that fixes it also for you.

That seems to have fixed it, thanks!

I'm having a problem with the obfuscator. It gives me the following error message.

### Obfuscation Error: Found Call() statement using unsolvable Func, which will/could lead to problems running your obfuscated script.

>### current Func: Reset_Defaults

H:\settings\Settings.au3(65,1) Warning for line:Call($arrFunctions[$i][0])

I have been trying to troubleshoot this issue on my own for several weeks already, but have not been able to resolve it.

I've stripped my script down to a bare minimum for you to have a look.

#removed

The script compiles and functions fine if I choose to ignore the error message but I'd rather deal with it than ignore it.

Please offer some advice to avoid the error message.

I'm assuming Obsfuscator already has code in it that builds a list of all referenced variables within a script so that the /StripOnly function will know which chunks of #includes can be omitted.

I find, after going through multiple revisions of a large script, that I'll end up with some user-defined variables that are now no longer referenced within the script. Would it be difficult to enable obfuscator to remove, or at least list, unreferenced user-defined variables? It is a pain-in-the-rear to manually do cleanup by reviewing all dim/local/global statements and doing searches on every variable to see if they are being used.

Thanks.

If you're using full SciTe - Put this at the top:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_au3check_parameters=-d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w 4 -w 5 -w 6

I'm a relative noob when it comes to AutoIt scripting.

My original script is almost 1300 lines which I stripped down to what is posted here so that I could demonstrate the error.

I do not yet have the skills to solve this issue on my own.

Is there anything I could do to sidestep this error from manifesting itself during obfuscation?

EDIT: Just saw the post from SmOke_N... will try it.

Nope, adding SmOke_N suggestion to the script caused multiple errors.

No. Did you read the post linked by KaFu? Obfuscator cannot obfuscate a Call() to a function in a variable. There is no way for Obfuscator to know what the name of the function is at runtime. It still works when compiled because the variable / array is valid, and presumably the string translates correctly during runtime to the function name. This will likely not always be the case. You'll have to live with the error during obfuscation.

bug:

#Region;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_Obfuscator=y
#Obfuscator_Parameters=/Convert_Strings=0 /Convert_Numerics=1 /showconsoleinfo=1 /Beta
#EndRegion;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****

$ni = Execute("1+1")
MsgBox(0, "", $ni)

Essayez de compiler ce script avec options.

Si on fait juste Obfuscator cela donne:

global $A6100204D51=A6100000434($Os[0x1])
$A2400105442 = Execute("1+1")
MsgBox(Number($A6100204D51), "", $A2400105442)

Obfuscator utilise la fonction A6100000434() qui n'existe pas .... hum BUG !

terminatorn,

Il n'y a pas de bug.

Obfuscator te previens que tu risques avoir un probleme parcequ'il y a un statement "Execute" - c'est normal. Mais si tu continue, la compilation passe sans probleme et le fichier executable marche parfaitement.

Le script apres compilation n'est pas pour les yeux des humains - c'est le principe d'Obfuscation de rendre le script quasiment illisible!

Trans:

There is no bug.

Obfuscator warns you of a possible problem because of the "Execute" statement - this is normal. But if you ignore this, the compile process completes without problems and the .exe works perfectly.

The obfuscated script is not for human eyes - the whole point of Obfuscator is to render the script unreadable!

im a little confused, i have variables that i need to prevent from being removed but i dont understand how, and i thought that #Obfuscator_Off would do the trick for the section of variables, but it prevents the section from being included, instead of just including it "as is"

update: could i be seeing a bug? when i look at the _Obfuscated source i still has the #Obfuscator_Off and #Obfuscator_On directives shown, and the code in the middle was infact included, but still obfuscated

Show me a example short scriptlet that shows what you mean.

Also indicate the used Obfuscator version.

#Obfuscator_off
Global  $OPTION_1_SHORT="HOST"

Global  $OPTION_2_SHORT="PORT"
Global  $OPTION_PORT="5500"
#Obfuscator_on

produces:

#Obfuscator_off
#Obfuscator_on
msgbox(0,"Test",Eval("OPTION_PORT"))

i know this example doesnt explain why im using eval, but id rather make the compiler work for what i need then re structure my program, i hope im not just being a noob here, sorry if i am

[Jos]

I understand why this examples doesn't work, but am wondering why you are putting the #Obfuscator_off & #Obfuscator_on in there.

Take them out and you will see it works perfectly.

This is what is happening: The lines between #Obfuscator_off/on are not processed thus the variables in there are not put into the available Variables table. Then when the Eval() statement is encounter, obfuscator checks the table for variable $OPTION_PORT which isn't in the table and thus they are all stripped.

I understand that one could expect that the stripping is not performed between the #Obfuscator_off/on and will see if that should be changed, but these directives were introduced to stop Obfuscator to "translate/obfuscate" these lines.

EDIT: Uploaded a new Obfuscator version to the Beta download area which will skip stripping any line between these directives.

very awesome, it would of been tough to explain my real use of eval, but basicly the obfuscator wouldnt of had anyway to get a variable because the variable string was variables that were initialized at runtime, this is great! thankyou very much!

But the uotput Line I have "Can't open file c:\Documents and Settings\more\Desktop\" and can not obfucate the code .. where i mistake .?

And for another code that worck to obfuscate , when i compile to exe ,, and execute the exe she get me a Global$ var error and not worck the Program .....

There are errors in this code. first test it by running it and make sure its error free before trying to Obfuscate it.
