Obfuscation methods - ⚡Rednix™ - Jun 12, 2023

Hey guys,

So i was wondering with obfuscation, are the ones that are free like ConfuserEx worth using. are they strong enough? Is it worth learning to develop my own or is that just reinventing the wheel? Thought and comments would be very much appreciated :)

thanks

You're probably better off using already made tools, but you should combine them in a custom way possibly. For example, you can use something like a confuser to change words to other real words, then a scrambler to jumble up all the words, then could use a compressor (lowers number of characters, uses dictionary to rebuild later - also can use serializers), then could obfuscate, etc etc etc

Of course a determined person could eventually figure it out, but it would be harder than if you only obfuscated once.
