Task templates

Simplify the process of running obfuscation jobs by creating pre-defined configurations for everything involving the obfuscation process.

Introduction

Task templates act as a named reference to both a specific project folder and predetermined obfuscation settings. This feature helps avoid the redundancy of entering detailed folder paths and obfuscation settings for each obfuscation iteration.

Instead, you can create a task template, assign it a unique name, and subsequently refer to this name when running obfuscation tasks.

Creating a task template

To create a new task template, use the following command:

Command Line input

cyphor obfuscator task create <TEMPLATE_NAME> <FOLDER_TARGET>

Parameters Explained:

• <TEMPLATE_NAME>: Assign a unique name to your task template. This name will be used to identify and execute the template in future operations.

• <FOLDER_TARGET>: Specify the directory or folder path where the obfuscation process will be applied. Ensure the path is correct to avoid any processing errors.

1. Selecting Dependencies to Merge: Dependency merging links multiple assemblies into a single file. This step enhances the compactness and can sometimes improve the performance of the obfuscation process.

Command Line output

Select the dependencies you want to merge

> [X] Dependency1.dll
  [ ] Dependency2.dll
  [X] Dependency3.dll
  [ ] Dependency4.dll
  [ ] MainFile.dll

(Move up and down to reveal more files)
(Press <space> to mark a file for merging, <enter> to continue)

2. Choosing Files for Obfuscation: In this step, you'll specify which files require obfuscation.

Command Line output

Select the files you want to obfuscate

> [X] Dependency1.dll
  [ ] Dependency2.dll
  [X] Dependency3.dll
  [ ] Dependency4.dll
  [ ] MainFile.dll

(Move up and down to reveal more files)
(Press <space> to mark a file for obfuscation, <enter> to continue)

After making your selection, you'll be prompted to determine the obfuscation techniques for each file.

3. Specifying Obfuscation Techniques: You have two option:

• Individual Settings: Manually specify the obfuscation settings for a file.

• Use an Obfuscation Scheme: Apply a pre-defined obfuscation scheme to the file. If you choose this option, you'll be asked which scheme to apply.

4. Storing the Task Template: Once all configurations are set, the task template will be saved to your system. This ensures you can quickly apply the same configurations in future obfuscation jobs.
