What is Obfuscation?
Obfuscation consists of deliberately making a program's source code unreadable and difficult to understand while preserving its functionality. This helps protect the code against reverse engineering and makes it more challenging for third parties to analyze or modify the code.
Obfuscation typically involves renaming variables, functions, and classes, hiding the logic, and removing comments and indentation, among other techniques.
Obfuscation is often used to protect developers' intellectual property, make copying the code more difficult, and prevent the understanding of the source code when distributed publicly.
That said, obfuscation should not be considered a complete security solution, as a determined attacker can still attempt to deobfuscate the code.
