Expression Obfuscation

Obfuscate expressions appearing in code to increase reverse engineering difficulty.

Supported Expression Types

  • Basic calculation expressions: add, sub, mul, div, neg
  • Basic bitwise calculation expressions: and, or, xor, not
  • Left shift or right shift calculation expressions: shl, shr

Supported Constant Types

  • int, uint
  • long, ulong
  • float
  • double

Settings

ObfuzSettings.ExprObfusSettings contains constant encryption related settings, detailed documentation can be found in Configuration.

Rule Files

By default, Obfuz encrypts all function calls, but also supports rule files to finely control the scope and effects of constant encryption. The ExprObfusSettings.RuleFiles option can configure 0-N rule files. Rule file relative paths are from the project directory, valid rule file paths look like: Assets/XXX/YYY.xml.

Configuration example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<obfuz>

<global obfuscationLevel="Basic" obfuscationPercentage="0.3">

</global>

<assembly name="Obfus2">
<type name="*.TestNotObfusAnyMethods" obfuscationLevel="None"/>
<type name="*.TestObfusAll" obfuscationLevel="Advanced"/>
<type name="*.TestObfusSomeMethods" >
<method name="Foo" obfuscationLevel="MostAdvanced"/>
</type>
</assembly>
</obfuz>
  • Top-level tag must be obfuz
  • Second-level tags can be global and assembly

global

Global defines global default encryption parameters.

AttributeNullableDefaultDescription
obfuscationLevelYesNoneObfuscation level, can take values None, Basic, Advanced, MostAdvanced
obfuscationPercentageYes0.5Obfuscation probability. Value range [0 - 1]

assembly

AttributeNullableDefaultDescription
nameNoAssembly name, must be in the obfuscated assembly list
OthersYesInherit same-named options from globalAll options in global can be used, if not defined, inherit the value of same-named option in global

Assembly's child elements can only be type.

type

AttributeNullableDefaultDescription
nameNoType name wildcard string, if empty means match all types
OthersYesInherit same-named options from assemblyAll options in global can be used, if not defined, inherit the value of same-named option in assembly

Since function calls can only appear in function code, type's child elements can only be method.

method

AttributeNullableDefaultDescription
nameNoType name wildcard string, if empty means match all types
OthersYesInherit same-named options from assemblyAll options in global can be used, if not defined, inherit the value of same-named option in assembly
