Obfuscator-LLVM is a fork of the LLVM compiler infrastructure that adds code obfuscation passes for software protection. It transforms compiled code with techniques like control-flow flattening, bogus control flow, and instruction substitution to hinder reverse engineering.

Use cases

• obfuscate C/C++ binaries to resist reverse engineering
• protect proprietary algorithms in shipped native code
• apply control-flow flattening to compiled programs
• build software with LLVM passes that obscure logic
• harden binaries against static and dynamic analysis

When to choose

• you need source-level obfuscation of C/C++ code via a compiler pass
• you want a well-cited, research-backed obfuscation tool
• you can build against LLVM 4.0 and accept an older toolchain

When to avoid

• you need support for modern LLVM versions or recent C++ standards
• you want actively developed obfuscation features
• you need obfuscation for languages other than C/C++
