unicode obfuscate

Replace unicode characters with visually similar ones.

Instalation

Be sure to use python >= 3.7

pip install unicode_obfuscate

Usage

Simple usage:

>>> from unicode_obfuscate import Obfuscator
>>> text = "And Now for Something Completely Different"
>>> obfuscator = Obfuscator()
>>> new_text = obfuscator.obfuscate(text)
>>> new_text
'Αnd Νοw fοr Ѕοmеtһіng Сοmрlеtеlу Dіffеrеnt'
>>> text == new_text
False

# You can also pass a probability to change only some characters.
>>> obfuscator.obfuscate(text, prob=0.3) 
'And Νow for Ѕomething Сompletely Different'

There are two different datasets to map the characters:

• intencional: A very short list with very similar characters (Only one option for each character). The data is taken from here.
• confusables: A gigantic list of characters (and multiple possible characters for each one). The data is taken from here.

By default, intencional is used but it can change with keyword kind:

# this uses the dataset 'intencional'
>>> obfuscator = Obfuscator()  

# this uses the dataset 'confusables'
>>> obfuscator = Obfuscator(kind="confusables")
