Obfuscate
Guaranteed compile-time string literal obfuscation library for C++14
Usage:
Pass string literals into the AY_OBFUSCATE macro to obfuscate them at compile
time. AY_OBFUSCATE returns a reference to an ay::obfuscated_data object with the
following traits:
- Guaranteed obfuscation of string
The passed string is encrypted with a simple XOR cipher at compile-time to
prevent it being viewable in the binary image
- Global lifetime
The actual instantiation of the ay::obfuscated_data takes place inside a
lambda as a function level static
- Implicitly convertable to a char*
This means that you can pass it directly into functions that would normally
take a char* or a const char*
Example:
const char* obfuscated_string = AY_OBFUSCATE("Hello World");
std::cout << obfuscated_string << std::endl;
