I'm pretty sure this is not about obfuscating anything.

Obfuscation isn't security etc etc

It's obfuscated.

Correct. I've done a fair amount of de-obfuscation work and it's frighteningly trivial sometimes.

What's the point of obfuscating then?

What's obfuscated about it? Seems pretty straightforward to me at first glance.

You can imagine all the layers of obfuscation you want, but it doesn't seem necessary to explain what is going on here.

right, but even if it's not the purpose, you can still call the result obfuscated

detaro | karma 40664 | avg karma 1.79 · | 2015-06-14 14:13:15+00:00

They are talking about obfuscating the stored data, not the code.

What's the point of obfuscation then?

You're the one calling it obfuscated. It's exactly the same thing here.

Is that OBFUSCATION? :Ð

icky | karma 1032 | avg karma 1.93 · | 2008-01-07 00:10:54+00:00

Or at least, it seems interesting on the face of it. Obfuscation != encryption.

readonthegoapp | karma 842 | avg karma 0.6 · | 2023-07-07 11:08:05

you don't obfuscate any of the important info?

smitty1e | karma 4482 | avg karma 1.43 · | 2023-12-13 17:30:29

Eschew obfuscation.

throwaway742 | karma 330 | avg karma 1.02 · | 2022-05-20 01:50:36

It was not my intention to obfuscate. I was just trying to share information. You make good points regardless.

lukeschlather | karma 5046 | avg karma 2.57 · | 2012-03-09 15:23:58+00:00

That was sort of what I was getting at. The obfuscation of the source language may be correlated, but it's not the goal.

pfg | karma 5329 | avg karma 4.49 · | 2016-04-05 17:34:22

Obfuscation would be a better term here. They've made it hard to reverse-engineer, but certainly not impossible.
