@Jos, Obfuscator /striponly problems and Au3Stripper future


Go to solution Solved by Jos,

Recommended Posts

I am interested in using Obfuscator with the /striponly option to reduce the size of an output file. I use obfuscator exclusively through AutoIt3Wrapper, where I can't see output of obfuscator to see if there are problems. A few of my scripts are showing issues. This is a short example of how the problem happens.

#Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Outfile_type=a3x
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_Obfuscator=y
#Obfuscator_Parameters=/striponly
#EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****

_SetTimeout(2000, Bugme, 5)

Sleep(5000)

Func Bugme($number)
    MsgBox(0,$number,"bugged")
EndFunc

Func _SetTimeout($time, $func, $param1)
    Sleep($time)
    Call(FuncName($func), $param1)
EndFunc

The output from Au3Check on the Obfuscated file is as so:

 

"C:Users-----Desktoptest_Obfuscated.au3"(1,24) : error: Bugme(): undefined function.

_SetTimeout(2000, Bugme,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^
C:Users-----Desktoptest_Obfuscated.au3 - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

Which means that Obfuscator removed Bugme.

Will this happen when Au3Stripper replaces Obfuscator?

Who else would I be?

There are two possible problems with your script:

1) missing apostrophes around Bugme

try _SetTimeout(2000, 'Bugme', 5)
instead of _SetTimeout(2000, Bugme, 5)
 

2) try to add: #Obfuscator_Ignore_Funcs=BugMe

 

So I think this is NOT bug of obfuscator

EDIT:

I'm not familiar with new AutoIt's syntax so maybe those missing apostrophes are "by purpose".

If so then ignore my post ...

Did you try:

#Obfuscator_Ignore_Funcs=_SetTimeout, Bugme

or

#Obfuscator_Off

#Obfuscator_On

#Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Outfile_type=a3x
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_Obfuscator=y
;~ #Obfuscator_Ignore_Funcs=_SetTimeout, Bugme
#Obfuscator_Parameters=/striponly
#EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****

_SetTimeout(2000, Bugme, 5)

Sleep(5000)

#Obfuscator_Off
Func Bugme($number)
    MsgBox(0, $number, "bugged")
EndFunc   ;==>Bugme

Func _SetTimeout($time, $func, $param1)
    Sleep($time)
    Call(FuncName($func), $param1)
EndFunc   ;==>_SetTimeout
#Obfuscator_On

 

Will this happen when Au3Stripper replaces Obfuscator?

 

Very interesting question.

Au3stripper is able to handle the new Bugme() func notation but obviously not the Call() statement.

I am sorry to say I don't know what might be wrong with the call statement. Is it formatted incorrectly, or are you simply saying that it will throw an ignorable error?

Use this syntax instead :

#Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Outfile_type=a3x
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_Obfuscator=y
#Obfuscator_Parameters=/striponly
#EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****

_SetTimeout(2000, "Bugme", 5)

Sleep(5000)

Func Bugme($number)
    MsgBox(0,$number,"bugged")
EndFunc

Func _SetTimeout($time, $func, $param1)
    Sleep($time)
    Call($func, $param1)
EndFunc

There is no reason to use FuncName in anyway...

There is no syntax error but Obfuscator (and au3stripper) have no way to determine the value of the variable ... hence the warning.

This has been explained too many time by me to go in further details. ;)

@Jos et al, Thanks for your help.

@Zedna, @Firefox, The reason I use the function name without quotes is for ease of access in SciTE4AutoIt3. If you quote the function you can't do a CTRL+J to jump to the function. Unquoted functions can be jumped to.

@FireFox, nice idea, but I can also add more parameters with a CallArgArray if I use call instead of $func(). See an example:
 

#Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Outfile_type=a3x
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_Obfuscator=y
#Obfuscator_Parameters=/striponly
#EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****

_SetTimeout(2000, MsgBox, param(0, "bugged", "hello"))

Sleep(5000)

Func _SetTimeout($time, $func, $param1)
    Sleep($time)
    Call($func, $param1)
EndFunc



Func param($1=0, $2=0, $3=0, $4=0, $5=0, $6=0, $7=0, $8=0, $9=0, $10=0, $11=0, $12=0, $13=0, $14=0, $15=0, $16=0, $17=0, $18=0, $19=0, $20=0, $21=0, $22=0, $23=0, $24=0, $25=0, $26=0, $27=0, $28=0, $29=0, $30=0, $31=0, $32=0, $33=0, $34=0, $35=0, $36=0, $37=0, $38=0, $39=0, $40=0, $41=0, $42=0, $43=0, $44=0, $45=0, $46=0, $47=0, $48=0, $49=0, $50=0, $51=0, $52=0, $53=0, $54=0, $55=0, $56=0, $57=0, $58=0, $59=0, $60=0, $61=0, $62=0, $63=0, $64=0, $65=0, $66=0, $67=0, $68=0, $69=0, $70=0, $71=0, $72=0, $73=0, $74=0, $75=0, $76=0, $77=0, $78=0, $79=0, $80=0, $81=0, $82=0, $83=0, $84=0, $85=0, $86=0, $87=0, $88=0, $89=0, $90=0, $91=0, $92=0, $93=0, $94=0, $95=0, $96=0, $97=0, $98=0, $99=0, $100=0)
    Local $arr[@NumParams + 1] = ["CallArgArray"]
    For $i = 1 To @NumParams
        $arr[$i] = Eval($i)
    Next
    Return $arr
EndFunc

EDIT: removed funcname
