kandi X-RAY | obfuscation Summary
Evaluation of the Author Masking Task at PAN2016. Author masking is the task of paraphrasing a document so that its writing style no longer matches that of its original author. This task was introduced as part of the 2016 PAN Lab on Digital Text Forensics, for which a total of three research teams submitted their results. This work describes our methodology to evaluate the submitted obfuscation systems based on their safety, soundness and sensibleness. For the first two dimensions, we introduce automatic evaluation measures and for sensibleness we report our manual evaluation results.

QUESTION
I am trying to use R8 and proguard to remove logging from the release build. The catch is that I need to this be minimally invasive at the moment, so I would like to enable R8/proguard to remove logs, but turn off everything else. IE minifcation, obfuscation, etc.

Edit: Another reason is that Android Studio will no longer support binding to straight elements, so you have have to specify the binding yourself.
To do this, add BuildFeatures in the application gradle file:
QUESTION
This pertains to code running in user-mode. For simplicity of the question, let's say we've taken any shared libraries / OS APIs called on by a program and statically linked them in memory, so we're not calling out to any abstraction layer, just using system calls directly.
I'm doing an experiment to achieve binary obfuscation by identifying certain non-mutable states (I think system calls and jumps) without having to build a relatively advanced obfuscation approach. Basically I emulate the program storing state changes for every instruction executed. When I reach a system call or jump, I mark that as a boundary and every instruction executed in-between two boundaries as a "function". My theory is that in user-mode programs, system calls are the only states (by states I mean instructions being executed along with the register and stack state at that instant) that have an "effect" outside of the program. In other words, whatever changes you want your program to make to the system in user-mode, system calls are the only means with which that happens.
If I'm wrong about that stop me here.
So based on that understanding, I hypothesize that I can mutate each of those functions in an almost infinite number of ways so long as the resulting instructions lead to the same state at the end of the function so that the system call arguments remain identical. Of course control flow also needs to be preserved so I treat jumps as preserved states too. I'm achieving this by using a Monte Carlo Tree Search to solve for the desired state from the mutated state. In order words, if I follow those rules and patch that mutated program back together and update all the jumps to reach the same functions they were previously pointing to, my program should externally perform the same goal it originally did, but through different instructions.
Here's a visual diagram. If zoomed in on, it's legible but SO's compression makes it a bit fuzzy.
This concept only intends to obfuscate memory, register, and instruction-sequence analysis channels (and without further specifications, would not obfuscate them 'entirely')
Is my premise flawed?
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Dec-21 at 19:40After mmap(MAP_SHARED, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE)
, writing to memory will eventually affect contents of files on disk, and/or be visible to other processes reading the shared memory region. (Most usage of shared-memory for inter-process communication is not via disk files, but rather anonymous SHM like shmat(2)
or shm_open(3)
)
Many programs don't do that for any files, but it's somewhat common to use shared memory for IPC (especially to an X server).
Still, it probably doesn't fully invalidate your argument about reg/mem state before/after a syscall being the only relevant thing most of the time.
Multi-threaded programs communicate with themselves via memory; threads share their entire address-space, and order of load/store instructions can be significant for memory ordering. And for atomicity, whether a 4-byte load is done with one dword mov
or four byte loads that you later merge. Atomic pure-load and pure-store are just plain instructions, only atomic RMW needs a lock
prefix (assuming you're compiling to run on a multi-core machine, otherwise the lock
prefix can be omitted.)

I use Redux-Saga in situations where there is complex business logic that is best separated from the component. We are adopting RTK Query and aren't able to use the endpoints manually. Yes, I am aware that Redux best practices docs suggest using Thunk when at all possible.
This particular saga task example doesn't make a great case for using Redux-Saga but there are definitely situations where the business logic is so involved/long/complex that it doesn't belong in a component and where we use saga functionality that can't be (elegantly) emulated with a simple Thunk.

QUESTION
I am currently trying to use the --gsplit-dwarf
gcc
flag in order to automatically create and separate debug symbols from build libraries/executables. More info on DWARF Obj files. However, what I have observed is that split-dwarf
still leaves a lot of unnecessary information in the remaining .o
file. What I would like to do is use strip
to remove that info but still have it be compatible for debugging using the .dwo
/.dwp
files; however, it seems that this does not work. I want to strip the release executables for space savings and for further obfuscation, and was hoping split-dwarf
would allow me to do so.
Example app app.cpp
ANSWER
Answered 2021-Sep-30 at 02:48If I strip the executable, the table is removed and the size is reduced, but it also strips away the debug_info that references the dwo file.
Correct.
The right way is to keep the unstripped copy of the executable and the .dwp
file, while distributing the stripped copy to end-users.
I thought that was the whole point of the single gsplit-dwarf flag, though.
No.
The motivation is explained here. To quote: "By splitting the debug information into two parts at compile time -- one part that remains in the .o file and another part that is written to a parallel .dwo ("DWARF object") file -- we can reduce the total size of the object files processed by the linker."
If the total size of object files processed by the linker isn't a problem for you (it rarely is for binaries under 1 GiB), then you don't really need fission (though it may still speed up your link a bit).
QUESTION
I'm looking from some kind of obfuscation bidirectional algorithm, that maps integer (in a range, like [0 , 2^10]
) to a string, to avoid URL manipulation
I see here that is suggested to generate a random string and use that as ID, but I need to associate this string to already existing data, thing that I would not consider that scalable, since I would have to generate the string for 400k entries... and furthermore, I can't encrypt it since I need this to be stored in a NFC tag, and so the memory is very limited
For the moment, I'm converting int to UUID, but at the end of the day, this changes anything, it's just the int value with some 0s as paddings
Are there anything like this?

Install obfuscation
You can use obfuscation like any standard Python library. You will need to make sure that you have a development environment consisting of a Python distribution including header files, a compiler, pip, and git installed. Make sure that your pip, setuptools, and wheel are up to date. When using pip it is generally recommended to install packages in a virtual environment to avoid changes to the system.
