[Question] How do you obfuscate c++ code

IDA pro....

Content length must be 10-5000 chars

@MyUserIsTaken

You do know IDA Pro isn't a decompiler its a disassembler which turns machine code into assembly. So yes there isnt any "C++ decompilers"

oooh!

Content length must be 10-5000 chars

No need to Obfuscate it because C++ can't be decompiled

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

About The Replies Above, C++ Code Can Be Decompiled Using Ida Pro, It Has A Decompiler Addon. You Can Protect Your Code Using Either VMProtect Or Themida, Themida Is Better But Has A Larger Performance Impact, Which Is Why Roblox For Example Uses VMProtect

just use themida.

and yes c++ can be decompiled. it is harder to decompile than c# code but u can still do it

themida or vmprotect

yes, c++ can be decompiled, but its hard and really not perfect. if we compare it to C#, c# converts it to ILcode and then they just pack it into some executable, and that executable runs the ILcode with .NET Framework (or Core, .NET Framework 4.x is preinstalled on windows 10)

so C# is JIT compiled (with .NET implementation at least)

ILcode can be decompiled pretty easily.

thats why C# code wont run if you dont have .NET Framework, and why it can be decompiled so easily

C++ is natively compiled, you dont need anything to run it (other than the OS, obviously, well theres other ways but yeah...)

correct me if im wrong, i dont code much in c# now

EDIT: so i found something that might help you understand how c# works (ik its wrong section, but still): https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/getting-started/introduction-to-the-csharp-language-and-the-net-framework#:~:text=Source%20code%20written%20in%20C%23,dll.

EDIT: Idfc about Mono, which is why i dont mention it

Thanks so much

@MyUserIsTaken You could add more protection tho

Yes please don't just use VMP as I believe that it can be somewhat reversed (though it is a complicated process if I am not mistaken).

ILcode can be decompiled pretty easily.

You are right, C# and all other .NET assemblies (VB.NET, F#) are fortunately or unfortunately easily decompileable. They can even be decompiled online: C# Decompiler.

@25074 Too bad it doesn't have x86 support haha, otherwise I'd use it to reverse some csgo cheats lol

@25074 :P cracking cheats brings a lot of rep

@TheGuardian226 hey can you wash me
