zig_obfuscate_and_compile

Description

Obfuscates Zig source (function shuffle, stack-frame jitter, runtime string encoding, comment removal, optional export renaming) then compiles to a native binary.

Overview

Obfuscates a Zig source program to protect intellectual property in the compiled binary, then compiles it to a self-contained native executable or library.

Transforms applied (in order):

  1. Shuffle-ZigFunctions — randomizes function order so every build produces a different .text section layout
  2. Inject-ZigStackJitter — inserts a random aligned buffer at each function entry, shifting all [RBP-offset] displacements
  3. Obfuscate-ZigComments — strips all // and /// comments (source-level IP)
  4. Obfuscate-ZigStrings — replaces string literals with runtime XOR decoding so plaintext does not appear in .rodata
  5. Obfuscate-ZigExports (optional) — renames export fn and pub fn symbols in the symbol table

Parameters

Name Type Description
Code string The Zig source code to obfuscate and compile.
ObfuscateExports bool Also rename exported symbol names. Default: false (safe for executables). Set true for libraries.
OS ZigOS Target OS. Default: Windows.
Architecture ZigArchitecture Target architecture. Default: x86_64.
Optimization ZigOptimization Optimization mode. Default: ReleaseSmall.
OutputType ZigOutputType Exe or Lib. Default: Exe.
Subsystem ZigSubsystem Windows PE subsystem (Console or Windows). Console shows a terminal window; Windows suppresses it. Only applies to Windows EXE targets. Default: Console.
