Artfuscator is a novelty C compiler built on ELVM that compiles C programs into a binary whose entire control flow graph renders as a chosen greyscale image. Unlike REPsych, the artistic graph actually implements the program's full functionality, forcing reverse engineers to dig into individual pixels to understand the code.

Use cases

  • compile C into a control flow graph shaped like an image
  • prank reverse engineers analyzing my binary
  • make decompiled output visually traumatic
  • demonstrate obfuscation via control flow graph art
  • build a working program whose CFG is a picture

When to choose

  • you want a functional twist on REPsych-style CFG art for demos or CTF trolling
  • you're exploring compiler backends and esoteric compilation techniques

When to avoid

  • you need a production compiler or maintainable output
  • you need proper packaging, documentation, or Windows support
