Show HN: Mojic – A C code obfuscator and encryption tool for source protection
amit.is-a.devMojic (v2.1.2) is a multi-layered protection tool for C source code that combines obfuscation with a cryptographic engine.
What it does:
Identifier Obfuscation: It renames variables and functions to ambiguous symbols to break static analysis.
CipherEngine: It uses a password-based encryption system (utilizing the Scrypt library for key derivation) to secure the source code artifacts.
Integrity Checks: The tool includes security alerts for "File Tampered" or "Integrity Failure" if the encrypted code is modified.
Web & CLI: It offers a Tailwind-powered web interface for quick use and a CLI for larger projects.
I built this to explore how much "unmaintainability" can be automated to protect intellectual property in C projects. Happy to answer any technical questions about the obfuscation logic! Mojic is a tool I developed for protecting C source code through multi-layered obfuscation and a cryptographic engine.
