Obfuscation Tool

PBO Tools - Obfuscator v1.8.1

Changelog:

Resolved an issue where an invalid prefix could be generated in specific scenarios.

SHA-256:

717db57ef68c65412f0c2ad9f7e10d6c9b87a11fb07141b6e8ca54e4f946f945

General Notes:

This version is not signed with a code signing certificate, as we can’t justify the NZ$500 annual cost for one that includes our company name. However, we have rigorous security measures in place to validate the application’s integrity and ensure user safety.
Users must now log in with their Discord account. License keys and traditional credentials are no longer used.
Support for deprecated versions of PBO Tools will end in 45 days. Users are encouraged to migrate as soon as possible. Join our Discord server for migration help and future updates.

What Are TypeDefs?

A typedef is used to obscure the original meaning of a data type, making it more difficult to reverse-engineer the code. This helps protect the structure of the program by concealing type relationships and their usage.

Before TypeDefines is enabled:

ProcessGameLogic.c

void ProcessGameLogic() {
    PlayerBase* player = new PlayerBase();
    player->TakeDamage(20);
    EntityAI* enemyAI = new EntityAI();
    enemyAI->ProcessAI();
    Inventory_Base* inventory = new Inventory_Base();
    inventory->AddItem("Medkit");
}

After TypeDefines is enabled:

typedefines.c

typedef PlayerBase A7X9Y1;
typedef EntityAI L2K3M4;
typedef Inventory_Base P5D6E7;
typedef Weapon_Base Z4B2X6;
typedef DayZPlayer F1G8H3;
typedef SurvivorBase Q9W2E5;
typedef Object V3N7M2;
typedef ScriptModule T5K4L8;
typedef ActionTarget X2Y7Z9;
typedef ActionData C3D6F8;
typedef Timer B8P5Q1;
typedef InventoryLocation W4X6Y2;
typedef Managed J7L3M9;
typedef OLinkT R9P2T4;
typedef CallType K2M8N5;
typedef ParamsReadContext Y1L4Z7;
typedef Widget H6V3T9;
typedef TextWidget D9F2X5;
typedef MultilineTextWidget G8K4Y2;
typedef RichTextWidget M3N7P6;
typedef RenderTargetWidget X5Z8Q1;
typedef RTTextureWidget L9W3K2;
typedef ImageWidget P6F1M7;
typedef MultilineEditBoxWidget N4Y2X8;
typedef UIWidget B3K7V9;
typedef CanvasWidget F9M2L4;
typedef EditBoxWidget Y6X3P8;
typedef SliderWidget L2N7Q4;
typedef SimpleProgressBarWidget K4Y1V6;
typedef ProgressBarWidget M8X5P2;
typedef ButtonWidget N2L6K9;
typedef XComboBoxWidget Y3P7T5;
typedef CheckBoxWidget Q8F2M4;
typedef BaseListboxWidget W7L9X1;
typedef SimpleListboxWidget P4N3K6;
typedef TextListboxWidget T9V2X8;
typedef SpacerBaseWidget K1M5L7;
typedef SpacerWidget F3X6P9;
typedef GridSpacerWidget Y2N4Q7;
typedef WrapSpacerWidget L8K9M2;
typedef ScrollWidget P7X1V3;
typedef VideoWidget M6N3K8;
typedef TStringArray T4Y9X5;
typedef TFloatArray F8K1M3;
typedef TIntArray P2N7L6;
typedef TBoolArray X9V3Q1;
typedef TClassArray Y5K8M4;
typedef TManagedArray M1N2X7;
typedef TManagedRefArray P3Y6K9;
typedef TVectorArray L4K7M8;
typedef TTypenameArray N9X2Q5;

ProcessGameLogic.c

void ProcessGameLogic() {
    A7X9Y1* player = new A7X9Y1();
    player->TakeDamage(20);
    L2K3M4* enemyAI = new L2K3M4();
    enemyAI->ProcessAI();
    P5D6E7* inventory = new P5D6E7();
    inventory->AddItem("Medkit");
