Installation

This command will install obscurepy:

python -m pip install obscurepy

I would recommend installing it in a virtual environment as opposed to globally:

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install obscurepy

Limitations

As this program is still in active development, there are many limitations. Below is a list of things obscurepy can and can't do, along with an example.

Things that obscurepy can currently do:

• Obscure class definitions (without bases)
• Obscure class calls (without arguments)
• Obscure function definitions (without parameters)
• Obscure function calls (without arguments)
• Obscure string constants
• Obscure integer constants
• Obscure float constants

Things it cannot do:

• Anything else

An example:

class FirstClass:
    pass


class SecondClass:
    # this is a comment
    pass


def first_function():
    c = 42


def second_function():
    d = 'string'

def third_function():
    e = 100.0

a = FirstClass()

b = SecondClass()

first_function()

second_function()

third_function()

a = SecondClass()

class _0x3ff:
    pass

class _0x454:
    pass

def _0x5ee():
    _0x63 = int('0x2a', 16)

def _0x643():
    _0x65 = ''.join([chr(x) for x in [115, 116, 114, 105, 110, 103]])

def _0x5e3():
    _0x67 = float.fromhex('0x1.9000000000000p+6')
_0x64 = _0x3ff()
_0x66 = _0x454()
_0x5ee()
_0x643()
_0x5e3()
_0x64 = _0x454()

Usage

The following command can be used to obscure a single file:

obscure --filepath=my_module.py

The following command can be used to obscure a multi file project:

obscure -p --project_dir=my_project

Alternatively, you can specify an output directory for both single file and multi file obscuring:

obscure --filepath=my_module.py --output_dir=desired_output_directory

obscure --project_dir=my_project --output_dir=desired_output_directory
