Obfuscation

You can obfuscate “XACKER” to stdout using different programming languages but .. it would still be recognizable don’t you think?

How about obfuscating it with Perl?

''=~('(?{'.('//)@*~'^'_]@.^^').'"'.('%!|`%}_'^'}`?+`/}').',$/})')

that’s it, I’m ‘con‘fuscated now

Of course this is not the first time to be done.. I don’t mean obfuscating “XACKER” no, I mean obfuscation with Perl.. there has been since Perl existed alot of obfuscation contests, something like this, which prints “just another perl hacker”

$_ = "wftedskaebjgdpjgidbsmnjgc";
tr/a-z/oh, turtleneck Phrase Jar!/; print;

Simple? OK how about this (I swear it prints “just another perl hacker” !)

#!/usr/bin/perl
not exp log srand xor s qq qx xor
s x x length uc ord and print chr
ord for qw q join use sub tied qx
xor eval xor print qq q q xor int
eval lc q m cos and print chr ord
for qw y abs ne open tied hex exp
ref y m xor scalar srand print qq
q q xor int eval lc qq y sqrt cos
and print chr ord for qw x printf
each return local x y or print qq
s s and eval q s undef or oct xor
time xor ref print chr int ord lc
foreach qw y hex alarm chdir kill
exec return y s gt sin sort split

You still think it’s simple? try the ultimate JAPH:
