BFuscate

A purely visual obfuscator for Python

🚨 Disclaimer

If you are looking for an obfuscator to protect your Python source, then this project will not be useful for you... yet!

For now, I suggest you to take a look at pyarmor or cython.

For the record, as of right now, the whole source can be recovered by simply replacing the very first word in the output (exec) with a print.

My goal is to have this not be the case, but at least it looks mildly intimidating at first glace.

🚀 Installation

Requirements

• Python 3.8+
  • Note: I have not checked if this works in any other Python version
• A computer, at least one hand (or alternatives), electricity, a consciousness, etc...

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/Supercolbat/BFuscate.git
cd BFuscate
python3 setup.py install
python3 -m bfuscate -h

🔮 Examples

See obfuscate_me_BFUSCATED.py to get a feel for BFuscate.

It's constantly updated because its the file I use for testing.

🔧 Usage

usage: __main__.py [-h] [-o OUTPUT] file

positional arguments:
  file                  target file for obfuscation

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

output:
  -o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
                        output destination

As a result of calling the program as a module, the file name will be __main__.py.

Obfuscating a file

python3 -m bfuscate obfuscate_me.py

python3 obfuscate_me_BFUSCATED.py

Obfuscating to a file

The positional arguments are not positional, meaning that the output flag can come before or after the file.

python3 -m bfuscate --output another_foo.py obfuscate_me.py
# or
python3 -m bfuscate obfuscate_me.py -o foo.py

python3 foo.py
python3 another_foo.py
