Jasob

With applications used for programming becoming more and more user friendly, it's important to secure your code in order to prevent theft. A popular and commonly used method is obfuscation, which modifies the visual structure so that it becomes close to impossible to decipher. With the help of applications like Jasob, you can easily load your projects and protect them with a few mouse clicks.

The overall design of the application is simple, yet highly intuitive, with your workspace cleverly organized with a navigation pane, large preview section and tab support for multiple projects. Moreover, you can import an impressive amount of file formats, ranging from JS, HTML and ASP to JSP, XML, and even CSS.

What's more, an integrated syntax highlighter lets you carefully analyze the code, but with no support for editing it. Before actually hiding everything in plain sight, you need to run an analysis because the application gives you the possibility to thoroughly customize the obfuscation process.

All gathered data, namely functions and variables used in your code are enlisted in dedicated panels. Corresponding details are displayed next to each element, with fields for number of encounters, length, size and reduction after changes are made.

The application gives you the possibility to leave all settings unmodified and simply choose to have the code obfuscated. However, there's the possibility to change names and set a new status for each function or variable. Luckily, the application can automatically generate new names, which significantly increases the security of your code.

Depending on the size and complexity of your project, you have the possibility to manually set CPU usage for better performance. The process itself is not lengthy, with the result being displayed in a separate tab so you can view differences. You need to manually save the newly generated file so that the original is not replaced and risk making it inaccessible even to you.

Jasob does a pretty good job at enhancing the security of your projects. Support for an abundance of file formats increases practicability, while the amount of tools you work with lets you thoroughly analyze and customize the way in which the process is put in motion. The result is generated fast and is sure not to disappoint.
