in reply to While we are at B::DeObfuscate
May be we'll produce deobfuscators for them too while we are at it?Oh, B::DeObfuscate will work on them too, as they merely obfuscate the source which is easily rebuilt into a coherent form with some appliance of the backend modules (specifically B::Deparse). Until a progam starts to obfuscate the actual program execution (which could conceivably, but not easily, be done with some B op tree magic) B::DeObfuscate should do a fine job deobfuscating. It's sort of like the difference between describing something using lots of buzzwords and jargon and then translating that into something that everyone can understand without needing to restructure what was said e.g
quasi-technical
the translation unit was obfuscated by recombobulating the ascii representation of the potential bytecodeplain english
the programmers code was muddled up by fiddling with the text that might be run at some pointNot a beautiful example I know, but hopefully it gets the point across - source code obfuscation is superficial.
