This is a comprehensive source code shrouder, using a patent pending system that allows obfuscation of practically any computer language system. ShroudIt! is designed to handle modern computer languages with support for such things as compiler directives, global includes, macros, embedded pre-processor statements, and symbol defines. Source code processed by ShroudIt! is fully equivalent to the original code, except that it is now only machine readable. All comments and meaningful variable names are removed or replaced. This means you can distribute your source code for others to use and compile, but your intellectual property is secured and protected. There are over 30 available features and optional techniques, such as replacing string constants with their ASCII hex code equivalence to further obscure the meaning and sense of the original source program. ShroudIt! is an essential tool whenever the security of your original source code may be compromised. This makes it a MUST HAVE tool for any serious professional programmer. ShroudIt! means you no longer have to give away your best ideas free, especially in fully interpeted environments like the PERL language, Comes with a fully featured INTRO tutorial program, an on disk manual, and sample templates for 'C', Pascal, dBase, BASIC, COBOL, SQL, Prolog and PERL source code.. Requires: MS/DOS 3+, 640k RAM and 8086/8088 system or better. ======================================================================== ===== Packing List ===================================== As released by the author or publisher, this package contained the following files in addition to this VENDINFO.DIZ: Filename Size Date Time CRC32 !README. 65 5-Apr-1994 06:31p 214C3F05 HINTS. 2049 8-Apr-1994 11:52a 6618CB17 INTRO. 1029 5-Apr-1994 03:29p 580DB8F2 LICENSE. 2521 23-Apr-1994 05:58p 8A71FC30 LOGO. 497 5-Apr-1994 03:25p 51DF3646 ORDER. 2086 5-Apr-1994 06:21p 6C459820 OVERVIEW. 1342 5-Apr-1994 03:34p B763CBA9 LOAD.C 1160 10-Mar-1994 01:30p C7556EED SH-C.CPY 487 5-Apr-1994 06:08p 7F824BB2 SH-C.CTL 1020 30-Mar-1994 06:01p A005DDE1 SH-LOW.CTL 709 5-Apr-1994 03:50p 6C3B85F9 FILE_ID.DIZ 424 27-Apr-1994 11:38a FAF4E1C4 SHROUDIT.DOC 37817 23-Apr-1994 05:55p 1C496FC5 INTRO.EXE 145984 7-Apr-1994 06:55p 7ED97041 SHROUDIT.EXE 180368 22-Apr-1994 09:37p 8076BE45 SH-C.GLB 34 5-Apr-1994 06:30p 895E0338 SH-C.INC 20 28-Feb-1994 06:30p 0877BDDB SH-C.KEY 907 28-Mar-1994 03:16p A97877EF SH-LOW.KEY 907 28-Mar-1994 03:16p A97877EF SH-SQL.KEY 386 6-Apr-1994 05:51p 195339C0 PACKING.LST 1843 8-Apr-1994 12:01p C7A4103C SH-C.OBS 117 3-Mar-1994 06:26p 129C1D5A INTRO.POP 1530 5-Apr-1994 06:25p 21FC850C SHROUDIT.PRO 55835 22-Apr-1994 09:28p 6BFC0799 DESC.SDI 37 27-Apr-1994 11:38a C3DFDB6A SHROUDIT.SHR 17513 22-Apr-1994 09:28p C1474A6A BASIC.ZIP 766 7-Apr-1994 04:03p 9F37692D COBOL.ZIP 1443 5-Apr-1994 03:38p 3B527B90 DBASE.ZIP 871 12-Apr-1994 01:26p C1F7CC53 EXAMPLES.ZIP 1797 5-Apr-1994 03:39p F649DCAD PASCAL.ZIP 1368 5-Apr-1994 11:30p A4EB3D1E PERL.ZIP 1088 18-Apr-1994 06:16p 548E4839 PROLOG.ZIP 2749 5-Apr-1994 03:38p 69B41574 ===== Installation ===================================== ShroudIt! is provided as a single PKZIP file. Unpack this into a single directory, run the INTRO tutorial, and then read the manual (SHROUDIT.DOC). You should then be ready to try some of your own source code using the example template control files provided. The whole process will vary in complexity from as simple as re-compiling say Borland C under Microsoft C, or at the high end, like using AWK scripts to tailor the final result required. Remember ShroudIt! only works on clean compiled and debugged code. ShroudIt! can be placed on the system path for execution, and you can optionally co-locate control files with source, or centrally with the ShroudIt! program. There are also environment variables you can set. This gives you all the flexiblity you need when working with a massive system of hundreds of source code modules split over a directory tree. ----- History ------------------------------------------------------ As a company we develop custom AI and Image Processing solutions and integrate them into traditional application systems. ShroudIt! was developed to protect our own source code library on a Sun UNIX system for a CNAPS massively parallel processor. The CNAPS has its own unique dialect of C and as yet no object linking capability. Our patent pending LNK_ImageLib graphical image processing product used in combination with the CNAPS processor gives a stunning improvement to automated satellite imagery processing. What used to take 8 hours to do on a high end RISC workstation, can now be done in real time in under 3 minutes. We would be happy to discuss any image processing needs you have too. Just a reminder that our licensing terms allow you to work with ShroudIt! free of charge for up to 60 days. However, at the moment that you distribute product created using ShroudIt! you must have purchased an applicable license from LNK Corporation, Inc. See ordering details in the accompanying ORDER file on disk. ----- Obfuscating --------------------------------------------------- ShroudIt! is designed to be used whenever you are concerned that the security of your original work could be compromised or you want to protect your intellectual property. ShroudIt! uses a patent pending rule based system implemented in Prolog that allows you to obfuscate practically any part of your original work. The obfuscation changes your original so that a human reader is unable to discern the sense or meaning, but the computer interprets it EXACTLY equivalent to the original. All the features and techniques are controlled by externally definable rules, so the entire process can be tailored to a specific target source language of your choice. Of course we cannot guarantee that ShroudIt! will work with absolutely any source, but with careful tuning it should cover most of the major language systems in use today. The degree of obfuscation consists of three distinct levels. At the base level the core scrambling is achieved by replacing all variables by meaningless random strings instead. Additionally any text inside comments is discarded. This level of obfuscation will work with almost any language. The next level allows you to expand any copy book or included source code in-line into the main source body. In addition you can replace any numeric or string constants with tokens instead. This is done by declaring the tokens to be equivalent to the number or text, and the text can be optionally written as raw ASCII codes if the target language supports this. The final level both compresses the source and replaces keywords with random tokens. Again this is only possible where the target language syntax is not dependent on line numbers and white space (or end of line) significance, and has some kind of macro or pre-processor facility. You can use the INTRO program provided to review an example of each level when used against a small sample 'C' language source program. The key to successfully using ShroudIt! is to customize the rule set to match your requirements. Several examples are provided for you to work from. The strength in this method is that you can set ShroudIt! to skip over any special language extensions such as embedded SQL, or key external routines with specific syntax. Of course you may conclude that this would limit the level of obscuring in the process, but there is nothing to stop you not only obscuring your source code, but also your database tables as well! Once you deploy your secured system, ShroudIt! provides you with MAP files which cross reference between the original source and the obfucated text. These facilitate providing debugging and support for the deployed system. As with any process you need to determine a balance between your business goals and technical needs. ShroudIt! provides a tool which gives you more options in achieving that balance. Some extra business support functions that ShroudIt! includes are automatic prefixing of copyright notices to source, along with copy branding. The branding works by automatically generating a serial number using a hash scheme. You provide the name of the end user and this is hashed to produce a serial number. This serial number is then used to seed the random number generator. Doing this means each resultant source output is uniquely identifiable, even if your original files are tampered with or incorporated into other source. The following section summarizes the feature set that ShroudIt! provides. ----- ShroudIt! Features ---------------------------------------------- ShroudIt! features can be divided into three distinct levels. Each level is shown, first with the key functions performed, then followed by the main components that allow this, and after that special control parameters that specify the exact details. Level One - (base level) - Variable name substitution and comment stripping - Components Language key words dynamically definable External and global function key words dynamically definable Comment syntax dynamically definable - Parameters Regular line, complex nested, or simple block comments Compiler directives handling Minimum length for random names Join character for name tokens Repeated use of name across code blocks obfuscation Code block delimiter tokens Registration and serial number branding Random number seeding control Duplicate token name checking String text delimiters Continuation line syntax Level Two - (extended level) - Include file expansion, number and string constant replacement. (Supports use of includes within includes to any depth). - Components Include or copy book language syntax definition Language syntax for replacing numbers and strings - Parameters Supports compiler environment variables for include file paths Optionally exclude certain system includes or copy books Language syntax for ASCII code substitution Level Three - (maximum level) - Source compression and language keyword substitution - Components Language key words dynamically definable External function key words dynamically definable Include or copy book language syntax definition - Parameters Compression line length Compression exclusions Continuation line syntax Randomly generated replacement names Occasional special token replacement Finally as needed you can use the in-line &&ShroudIt! parameter to pass on the fly instructions to the shrouder at critical points within a particular source file. These override the default values specified by the parameter rules. ===== Warranty ========================================= Warranty ﬂﬂﬂﬂﬂﬂﬂﬂ THE SHROUDIT!
