# obsidian
Control flow obfuscation for Java code

It is work in progress

# Usage

## Visual Studio Code Plug-In
We have created a VSCode plug-in that transforms highlighted Java code into the obfuscated form. For more information, including how to run the plug-in, click [here](https://github.com/obsidian-java/vscode-obsidian).

## IntelliJ IDEA Plug-In
Alternatively obsidian can be used as an IntelliJ IDEA plug-in to similarily obfuscate highlighed Java code in the editor. For more information, including how to install and run the plug-in, click [here](https://github.com/obsidian-java/intellij-obsidian)

## In-code
Compiled binaries are available in the [binrepo](https://github.com/obsidian-java/binrepo/tree/main/obsidian/lang/java/obsidian_3) repository.

To utilize these binaries as a developer looking to utilize the Obsidian library for code obfuscation, add the following repository to your dependancy file and add the Obsidian library as a dependancy.

You should now be able to import it like any other library and use it in your code.
```java
import obsidian.lang.java.obsidian.Obsidian
```

### Gradle
```groovy
repositories {
    maven {
        url 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/obsidian-java/binrepo/master/'
    }
}
// ...
dependencies {
    implementation 'obsidian:obsidian:0.0.2'
}
```

### SBT
```scala
ThisBuild / resolvers += "obsidian binary github repo" at "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/obsidian-java/binrepo/master/"

// ...

libraryDependencies += "obsidian.lang.java" %%% "obsidian" % "0.0.2"
```

### Maven
```xml
<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>obsidian-java</id>
        <url>https://raw.github.com/obsidian-java/binrepo/master</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>
// ...
<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>obsidian.lang.java</groupId>
        <artifactId>obsidian</artifactId>
        <version>0.0.2</version>
</dependency>
```

# Development (Setup Guide)
As a developer for obsidian, follow the following instructions to set up your environment.

## Obsidian environment setup 
> Obfuscates the following demo Java code in `Main.scala`
```java
public class Test
{
    public static int f() {
        int x; 
        int s;
        x = 0;
        s = 0;
        while (x < 10) {
            s = x + s;
            x = x + 1;
        }
        return s;
    }
}
```

```bash
# Clone binrepo repository to this specific location
cd ~ && mkdir obsidian-java && git clone git@github.com:obsidian-java/binrepo.git

# Clone obsidian repository to any location
cd ~/code && git clone git@github.com:obsidian-java/obsidian.git && cd obsidian

# Compile and run
sbt compile
sbt run # Runs main class demo in Main.scala

# run tests
sbt test
```

## Publishing Steps
> builds and publish binaries to binrepo repository for library download
```bash
# publish obsidian library to ~/obsidian-java/binrepo folder
sbt publish
# Check if the library is published
cd ~/obsidian-java/binrepo && git status
```

# TODOS:

1. MinSSA does not handle the following
    1. synchronized method, variable, class, which should be an easy fix. 
    2. try-catch block, this one is hard.

# Example

Some examples in Java

## Original Code

```java

public class FibExcept {

public class InputException extends Exception {
        public InputException() {
        };
    }

private int f1, f2, lpos;

public FibExcept() {
        f1 = 0;
        f2 = 1;
        lpos = 1;
    }
    public int get(int x) {
        // 1 
        int i = lpos;
        try { // 2
            if (x < i) { // 3
                throw new InputException();
            } else { // 4
                while (i < x) { // 5
                    int t = f1 + f2;
                    f1 = f2;
                    f2 = t;
                    i++;
                }    
            } 
            lpos = i;
            return f2;
        } catch (InputException e) { // 6 
            System.out.println("the input should be greater than " + i + ".");
            return -1;
        }
        // 7
    }

public static void main(String[] args) {

FibExcept fs = new FibExcept();
        System.out.println(fs.get(10));
        System.out.println(fs.get(9));
