Hyperion - Desktop Code Obfuscator

Overview

Product Name

Hyperion – A cross-platform desktop application for code obfuscation.

Description

Hyperion is a desktop application designed to obfuscate source code files and folders, making them difficult to analyze or reverse-engineer. It supports scripting languages such as PHP, Python, JavaScript, and Ruby. The tool ensures security by restructuring code while maintaining its original functionality.

Goals & Objectives

  • Provide an easy-to-use desktop solution for code obfuscation.
  • Support multiple scripting languages.
  • Allow users to obfuscate individual files or entire directories.
  • Ensure minimal performance impact on obfuscated code.
  • Offer a simple and intuitive user interface.
  • Support Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Features

Core Features

  • File & Folder Obfuscation – Users can obfuscate single files or entire project directories.
  • Multi-Language Support – Works with PHP, Python, JavaScript, and Ruby.
  • Code Scrambling – Restructures code to make it unreadable while keeping functionality intact.
  • Control Flow Obfuscation – Alters execution paths to prevent easy tracing.
  • String Encryption – Encrypts sensitive strings in the code.
  • Dynamic Renaming – Renames variables, functions, and classes to obscure logic.
  • Dead Code Injection – Adds misleading code to deter static analysis.
  • Batch Processing – Supports multiple file obfuscation at once.
  • Undo & Backup – Provides a backup option before obfuscation.
  • Dark & Light Mode – User-friendly UI with theme customization.

Advanced Features (Future Updates)

  • Custom Obfuscation Rules – Users can define their own obfuscation patterns.
  • Integration with CI/CD – API or CLI support for automation.
  • Code Minification – Option to reduce code size while obfuscating.
  • Obfuscation Strength Levels – Users can select different obfuscation intensities.
  • License & DRM Protection – Optional encryption to restrict unauthorized execution.

Technical Specifications

Tech Stack

  • Frontend: Svelte
  • Backend: Golang
  • Framework: Wails
  • Obfuscation Engine: Custom-built parsers for PHP, Python, JavaScript, and Ruby
  • Database (Optional for settings/storage): SQLite

Platform Compatibility

  • Windows (7, 10, 11)
  • macOS (Intel & Apple Silicon)
  • Linux (Debian-based & Arch-based distros)

System Requirements

  • CPU: Minimum Intel i5 / AMD Ryzen 5
  • RAM: Minimum 4GB, Recommended 8GB+
  • Storage: At least 100MB free space
  • Dependencies: Bundled with necessary runtime components

User Flow

  1. User opens Hyperion.
  2. User selects a file or folder for obfuscation.
  3. User chooses obfuscation settings (e.g., renaming, encryption, dead code injection).
  4. User clicks 'Obfuscate'.
  5. Hyperion processes the files and generates obfuscated versions.
  6. User downloads the obfuscated files (or they replace the original files if chosen).
  7. Backup is created if enabled.

UI/UX Considerations

  • Drag & Drop support for selecting files/folders.
  • Progress bar & logs to show obfuscation status.
  • Error handling & warnings (e.g., unsupported file types, missing dependencies).
  • Simple settings menu for customization.
  • Multi-language UI support (English, Bahasa Indonesia, etc.).

Security & Performance

  • Ensures zero functional impact on obfuscated code.
  • Uses non-reversible transformations to increase security.
  • Supports multi-threading for faster obfuscation on large projects.
  • Provides an offline mode for full privacy.

Deployment & Distribution

  • Standalone Installers for Windows (.exe), macOS (.dmg), and Linux (.AppImage/.deb/.rpm).
  • Portable Version (no installation required) for advanced users.
  • Auto-update feature (optional) for seamless upgrades.
