The Original Microsoft Visual Basic Obfuscator
Original release date: 6/28/2001
If you look at your compiled projects in a hex editor you'll
see your object names and properties in plain English. Are you giving
away trade secrets? My EXE Obfuscator will wash them away
and give you more peace of mind when delivering win32 binaries, dll's
and ocx files to your customers.
In this screenshot a compiled EXE project is loaded, "np.exe".
Notice the many detected object names above. np.exe is a small project,
there could be hundreds if not thousands of plaintext object names in your project.
One pass by the Obfuscator and...
All selected objects are renamed to meaningless text. Your application operates
just as it did before, now with less security risks. Your source
.EXE application, .OCX component, or .DLL library is not modified, an obfuscated
file is created and saved to the same directory with the extension
"-ob". In console/batch usage the source file is overwritten.
Q & A
Can I use other protection software with obfuscated files?
Yes.
What are the consequences of using this tool?
If used properly, there are none. Make sure you test your
obfuscated files after each obfuscation.
How do you use this tool properly?
Select a file (.EXE, .DLL or .OCX) and it will be processed. All
object names are listed in the 'object names' text box. Each line
represents an object name. If you see an object name that you do not
want obfuscated, either because you do not recognize it or do not want
it changed; simply delete the line it appears on. If you do not remove
unknown or illegal object names your obfuscated program will crash.
When you are satisfied with the object names list, click 'OBFUSCATE'
and the rest will be done automatically. When the process completes
you will have an '
