obfuszkálást

Obfuszkálás is a Hungarian term that translates to obfuscation. In computing, it refers to the process of making computer code difficult to understand or analyze. This is often done to protect proprietary software, prevent reverse engineering, or hide malicious code. Obfuscation techniques can include renaming variables and functions to meaningless names, inserting dead code, altering control flow, and encrypting parts of the program. The goal is to preserve the code's functionality while making its internal workings opaque to human inspection. While obfuscation can deter casual analysis, it is generally not considered a strong security measure as determined attackers can often deobfuscate the code with enough effort. It is also sometimes used in contexts where code might be shared but the author wishes to make it less immediately readable, such as in certain scripting scenarios. The term is derived from the Latin word "obfuscare," meaning to darken or obscure.
