Abstract

Techniques for application code obfuscation are disclosed. In one embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a method including receiving application code and testing data associated with the application; automatically generating obfuscated application code from the received application code; automatically testing the obfuscated application code by running the obfuscated application code and inputting at least the recorded inputs from the testing data while recording associated outputs; in response to determining that the associated outputs from automatically testing the obfuscation code do not match the testing data outputs, modifying the obfuscated application code and automatically testing the modified obfuscated application code against the testing data; and, in response to determining that outputs from automatically testing the modified obfuscated application code match the testing data outputs, transmitting the modified obfuscated application code as a successful obfuscation of the application.
