CodeTangler is a source code obfuscator for PHP scripts and software projects. Obfuscation is the process of searching for variable names, function names, and class names and replacing them with a series of scrambled and randomly generated letters and numbers to confuse or obfuscate anyone who looks at the source code.
CodeTangler obfuscates source code by removing any comments and documentation within the source code, renames all functions, classes, and variables, strips whitespace, clears line breaks, and transforms string literals into hexadecimal form and a series of character codes.
Take CodeTangler for a test drive to see what it's really capable of!
Here are some key features of "CodeTangler":
· Source code can have whitespace stripped down to a minimum, line breaks removed, and comments removed.
· Function, variable, and class names and references throughout the source code are collected and then renamed to random names comprised of random letters and numbers. (IF USING EXTREME OBFUSCATION, ALL RANDOM NAMES USE ONLY O'S AND 0'S.)
· The most advanced and unique feature behind CodeTangler is the ability to transform string literals into "hexed" code.
· For double quotation-marked string literals, all characters are transformed into hexadecimals and single quotation-marked string literals the sequence is transformed into a series of character codes.
Limitations:
· storage of only 100 variables, functions and classes each
· scanning and encoding for files only under 16 KB
· extreme obfuscation and Hex string literals features are disabled
· timed nag screen
