The press has the ability not only to act as a translator but also as an obfuscator.

Mr Pruitt, who has close ties to coal and gas companies and related lobbyists, some of whom have made donations to his political campaigns, is a climate change obfuscator, and perhaps an outright denier.

So here's a case where the internet is a great light-bringer, just like many of us thought it would be — not a great obfuscator, as many of us decided it had become last fall.

Ever the obfuscator, Lynch has said previously that the film is about "a woman in trouble," and Dern's character certainly goes through some shit in this one—and, if you make it to the end, so will you.

Obash is a bash script obfuscator written in C programming language. The bash obfuscator (obash) encodes and encrypts bash shell scripts into executable binaries much like Shc the shell script compiler, the project that inspired it, but uses AES-256 encryption and the key and initialization vector are retrieved from the hardware instead of being hard coded into the binary itself. The obash project was started to address some of the issues that afflict shc, the main one being able to see the original shell script source by simply issuing "ps -ef". Although the objectives are the same obash shares no code with shc and was built from scratch from the ground up, any code similarities are purely accidental and dictated by the shared objectives.

Fingerprinting facilitates attacks. Blocking those ICMP messages is only one of an array of defenses required for full protection against attacks. Targeting the ICMP datagram, an obfuscator running on top of IP in the internet layer acts as a "scrubbing tool" to confuse the TCP/IP fingerprinting data. These exist for MS Windows, Linux and FreeBSD.

On 31 March 2017, WikiLeaks published Vault 7 part 3 "Marble". It contained 676 source code files for the CIA's Marble Framework. It is used to obfuscate, or scramble, malware code in an attempt to make it so that anti- virus firms or investigators cannot understand the code or attribute its source. According to WikiLeaks, the code also included a de-obfuscator to reverse the obfuscation effects.

Mocha is a Java decompiler, which allows programmers to translate a program's bytecode into source code. A beta version of Mocha was released in 1996, by Dutch developer Hanpeter van Vliet, alongside an obfuscator named Crema. A controversy erupted and he temporarily withdrew Mocha from public distribution. As of 2009 the program is still available for distribution, and may be used freely as long as it is not modified.

The combining characters mechanism of Unicode provides considerable ways of customizing the style, even obfuscating the text (e.g. via an online generator like Obfuscator, which focuses on the filters). Glitcher is one example of Unicode art, initiated in 2012: These symbols, intruding up and down, are made by combining lots of diacritical marks. It’s a kind of art. There’s quite a lot of artists who use the Internet or specific social networks as their canvas.

CozyDuke is connected to the MiniDuke and CosmicDuke campaigns, as well as to the OnionDuke cyberespionage campaign. Each threat group tracks their targets and use toolsets that were likely created and updated by Russian speakers. Following exposure of the MiniDuke in 2013, updates to the malware were written in C/C++ and it was packed with a new obfuscator. Cozy Bear is suspected of being behind the 'HAMMERTOSS' remote access tool which uses commonly visited websites like Twitter and GitHub to relay command data.

Some online games, such as Battlefield 1942, include specific features to counter cheating exploits, by incorporating tools such as PunkBuster, nProtect GameGuard, or Valve Anti-Cheat. However, much like anti- virus companies, some anti-cheat tools are constantly and consistently bypassed until further updates force cheat creators to find new methods to bypass the protection. In single-player games, there are a number of plug-ins available to developers to use to stop cheaters. An obfuscator will scramble code so it is unreadable by decompilers, rename events/properties/methods and even add fake code.

The documents describe the Marble framework, a string obfuscator used to hide text fragments in malware from visual inspection. As part of the program, foreign languages were used to cover up the source of CIA hacks.Jacques Cheminat: Marble Framework: le double jeu perfide des hackers de la CIA, silicon.fr, 31 March 2017Stefania Maurizi: WikiLeaks, così la Cia depista i raid nei computer: svelato il 'Marble Framework', La Repubblica, 31 March 2017Jean-Marc Manach: WikiLeaks joue à cache-cache avec la CIA, Libération, 31 March 2017 According to WikiLeaks, it reached 1.0 in 2015 and was used by the CIA throughout 2016.
