OBFUSCATION

obfuscation makes a script more difficult to read. the main goals are:

• to hide the original code and its functions to prevent it from being reused or copied without the developer's permission, making it more difficult to reverse engineer the code's original functionality.

• to prevent Intrusion Detection and Prevention systems from detecting the malicious scripts

• to provide a security layer when dealing with authentication or encryption to prevent attacks on vulnerabilities that may be found within the code
