# Code Obfuscation
|
||
|
||
## 매 한 줄
|
||
> **"매 reverse-engineering cost 의 raise — semantic 보존하면서 readability 파괴"**. Crypto 처럼 secrecy 가 아닌 cost-shifting — determined attacker 는 매 결국 풀 수 있음. 매 modern usage: anti-piracy, anti-cheating, license validation, 매 LLM-based deobfuscation 의 등장으로 의미 retreat.
|
||
|
||
## 매 핵심
|
||
|
||
### 매 layer
|
||
- **Lexical**: rename identifier (`x_a1b2c3`).
|
||
- **Control flow**: opaque predicate, control-flow flattening.
|
||
- **Data**: string encryption, constant unfolding.
|
||
- **Anti-analysis**: anti-debug, VM detection, integrity check.
|
||
- **Virtualization**: custom VM bytecode (VMProtect, Themida).
|
||
|
||
### 매 trade-off
|
||
- Performance: 2-10× slowdown (virtualization 시).
|
||
- Size: 2-5× binary bloat.
|
||
- Stability: false positive 가능 (anti-debug).
|
||
- Security: 매 cost-raise 만 — break 시간을 hours → weeks 로.
|
||
|
||
### 매 응용
|
||
1. JavaScript bundle (anti-scraping).
|
||
2. Mobile app DRM, license check.
|
||
3. Game anti-cheat (e.g., VAC, EAC).
|
||
4. Malware (defensive obfuscation).
|
||
|
||
## 💻 패턴
|
||
|
||
### String encryption
|
||
```javascript
|
||
// Before
|
||
const KEY = "secret-api-key";
|
||
|
||
// After
|
||
const _0xa1b2 = ['c2VjcmV0', 'LWFwaQ==', 'LWtleQ=='];
|
||
const _0xc3d4 = (i) => atob(_0xa1b2[i]);
|
||
const KEY = _0xc3d4(0) + _0xc3d4(1) + _0xc3d4(2);
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Control-flow flattening
|
||
```c
|
||
// Before: linear flow
|
||
void f() { a(); b(); c(); }
|
||
|
||
// After: dispatcher loop
|
||
void f_obf() {
|
||
int state = 0;
|
||
while (state != -1) {
|
||
switch (state) {
|
||
case 0: a(); state = 7; break;
|
||
case 7: b(); state = 3; break;
|
||
case 3: c(); state = -1; break;
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Opaque predicate
|
||
```cpp
|
||
// Always true at runtime, hard to determine statically
|
||
auto opaque = [](int x) { return (x*x*x - x) % 3 == 0; }; // always true for any int
|
||
if (opaque(rand())) real_logic();
|
||
else fake_branch(); // dead but appears live to disassembler
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Identifier mangling (terser)
|
||
```javascript
|
||
// terser config
|
||
{
|
||
mangle: {
|
||
toplevel: true,
|
||
properties: { regex: /^_/ }
|
||
},
|
||
compress: { passes: 3, dead_code: true }
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Anti-debug (browser)
|
||
```javascript
|
||
setInterval(() => {
|
||
const t = performance.now();
|
||
debugger; // pauses if devtools open
|
||
if (performance.now() - t > 100) {
|
||
// devtools detected
|
||
location.href = 'about:blank';
|
||
}
|
||
}, 1000);
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### LLVM IR pass (obfuscator-llvm style)
|
||
```cpp
|
||
struct StringObfPass : PassInfoMixin<StringObfPass> {
|
||
PreservedAnalyses run(Module &M, ModuleAnalysisManager&) {
|
||
for (auto &GV : M.globals()) {
|
||
if (auto *CDA = dyn_cast<ConstantDataArray>(GV.getInitializer())) {
|
||
if (CDA->isString()) xor_encrypt(GV);
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
return PreservedAnalyses::none();
|
||
}
|
||
};
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## 매 결정 기준
|
||
| 상황 | Approach |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| Web bundle anti-scraping | terser + javascript-obfuscator |
|
||
| Native binary (commercial) | VMProtect / Themida |
|
||
| Open-source w/ embedded secret | DON'T — use server-side proxy |
|
||
| Game anti-cheat | Kernel driver + virtualization |
|
||
| Mobile DRM | Hardware-backed (TEE, SEP) — obfuscation 보조 |
|
||
|
||
**기본값**: Don't obfuscate — secrets belong server-side. Necessary 시 매 layered defense.
|
||
|
||
## 🔗 Graph
|
||
- 응용: [[Malware Analysis]]
|
||
|
||
## 🤖 LLM 활용
|
||
**언제**: Defense-in-depth context, malware analysis 학습, anti-tamper design.
|
||
**언제 X**: Hiding actual secrets — broken by definition. 매 server-side 가 답.
|
||
|
||
## ❌ 안티패턴
|
||
- **Security through obscurity (alone)**: 매 always falls.
|
||
- **Embedding API key in client**: obfuscation 으로도 매 보호 불가.
|
||
- **Custom crypto**: roll-your-own → obfuscation 보다 매 weaker.
|
||
- **Performance ignored**: 10× slowdown 으로 UX 망침.
|
||
- **No update path**: 매 break 되면 매 fresh release 필요 — automation 필수.
|
||
|
||
## 🧪 검증 / 중복
|
||
- Verified (Collberg taxonomy, obfuscator-llvm, javascript-obfuscator).
|
||
- 신뢰도 A.
