..and now something seasonal
The Christmas holidays are almost here and to celebrate I've mildly obfuscated some C that prints the lyrics to a traditional English carol.
The source code can be found here

That's beautiful. Thank you for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteNice!
ReplyDeleteThank you and Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteTypos: eight maids, not 'eighth'; ninth day, not 'nineth'
Thanks for spotting the typos. Now fixed. :-)
DeleteI keep on wondering how people can do this... and how much time it would take to do it.
ReplyDeleteIt depends on how obfuscated one wants the code. I just wrote the program and then mangled the array of text a bit and re-encoded it into something unreadable. I then used some standard tricks like using the ternary operator and macros to mangle the code a little more and then it's a simple case of re-formatting the resulting mess into something pretty. I just used some very elementary code obfuscation and all in all it was a couple of hours from start to finish.
DeleteFor a more mangled example, see http://smackerelofopinion.blogspot.co.uk/2011/10/dennis-ritchie-rip.html - this example contains a small stack machine simulator and op-codes to print out a message. This took more effort as the obfuscation is in the actual execution of the code as well as the code layout.
