PyCodeObfuscator is a Python-based tool designed to securely obfuscate Python source files. With a focus on simplicity and utility, this script ensures your code is protected while maintaining functionality.

• Obfuscates Python files to protect sensitive source code.
• Supports verbose output for detailed feedback during the obfuscation process.
• User-friendly interface with clear error handling and concise messaging.

You can install PyCodeObfuscator via pip:

pip install pycodeobfuscator

Alternatively, clone this repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/PyCodeObfuscator.git
cd PyCodeObfuscator

Run the script with the following syntax:

pycodeobfuscator <file> [-v | --verbose] [-s | --single]

or

PCO <file> [-v | --verbose] [-s | --single]

• <file>: The path to the Python file you want to obfuscate.
• -v or --verbose: Enables verbose mode for additional output.
• -s or --single: Only obfuscates the code once, not as obfuscated but will result in a smaller file

pycodeobfuscator script.py --verbose

Output:

[INFO] Obfuscating, Iteration: 1/20
[INFO] Obfuscating, Iteration: 2/20
[INFO] Obfuscating, Iteration: 3/20
...
[INFO] Obfuscating, Iteration: 20/20
[INFO] Obfuscating...
[INFO] Obfuscated file saved as: script_obf.py
[INFO] File successfully obfuscated! Result Character Lenght: 2216948

1. Input File: Supply the path to a Python source file.
2. Obfuscation: The tool processes and obfuscates the file to make the file less readable. Now this part is broken down into peices, first all comments and empty liens are removed. Then the command splits the code into smaller chunks and picks a random function out of a list of encoding functions containing functions such as base64, gzip etc. Then it formats the output of the endoing together with some randomly picked variable names and formats them into python syntax. Lastly it adds a exec() containing the decoding of all the variables. After that this process is repeated 20 times to obfuscate it as much as possible (to prevent this repetition use the -s (--single) flag to only obfuscate once.)
3. Output File: An obfuscated version of the file is saved in the same directory.

• Python 3.6 or higher
• termcolor library for colored console output
