A deceptive PyPI package posing as an Instagram growth tool collects user credentials and sends them to third-party bot services.
One night I got bored of writing good code, so I made good code to make bad code.
Consider sponsoring me here
pip install python-obfuscator
Print out obfuscated code
pyobfuscate -i your_file.py
Apply changes to the input file
pyobfuscate -i your_file.py -r True
You can use this as a module if you want
import python_obfuscator
obfuscator = python_obfuscator.obfuscator()
code_to_obfuscate = "print('hello world')"
You can also exclude certain techniques applied for obfuscation
import python_obfuscator
from python_obfuscator.techniques import add_random_variables
obfuscator = python_obfuscator.obfuscator()
code_to_obfuscate = "print('hello world')"
obfuscated_code = obfuscator.obfuscate(code_to_obfuscate, remove_techniques[add_random_variables])

Input
y = input("what's your favorite number")
