In the next chapter, we’ll see real examples of obfuscation of code and you’ll hopefully see the resemblance. But will you keep calling your friend if this becomes a permanent thing?Īs silly of an example as this may seem, it includes the same reasoning as some techniques used in code obfuscation. Sure, you can bear to decipher this nonsense once. Plus, your friend added some irrelevant details. It takes a lot longer to decipher the meaning of the message and there are some redundancies. If you take a closer look at your friend’s Shakespearean reply, it’s clear that the whole thing is unnecessarily complicated. Haply tom'rrow, equal timeth? Has't to taketh careth of mine own children, I do. I offer thee the sincerest of apologies but, alas, I can't doth t the present day.

Think of obfuscation like this: you call a friend to schedule a coffee for later (remember when that was a thing?).Ī possible reply would be something like “Hi! Sorry, can’t do it today, I have to watch the kids. To put it simply, obfuscation of code is a technique used to transform plain, easy-to-read code into a new version that is deliberately hard to understand and reverse-engineer-both for humans and machines. Let’s get into it! Chapter 1: What is Obfuscation of Code? This blog post aims to provide the most detailed and comprehensive guide to JavaScript obfuscation in 2022.įamiliarity with JavaScript and npm is a plus, but not necessary to follow this guide.
