Zanza

Dead-simple string obfuscation algorithm.

Obfuscation works by identifying the Unicode code points (character codes) of each character in the input string. The return value is a list, in which the first element is also a list containing the first character's code point digits. The rest of the elements are the code point delta values, where each element is compared to the previous one.

As the project supports Python 3.0 and up, all Unicode strings should work.

Installation

To install as a project dependency, or global package, execute the following command in the project's directory:

pip install zanza

To use as a standalone command-line utility, add the --user flag to the previous command:

pip install --user zanza

Usage

This package contains scripts for both string obfuscation (zanza) and deobfuscation (dezanza)

Obfuscation

>>> from zanza import zanza

>>> zanza("I am awesome!")
[[7, 3], -41, 65, 12, -77, 65, 22, -18, 14, -4, -2, -8, -68]

>>> zanza("Emojis will work, too: 💪")
[[6, 9], 40, 2, -5, -1, 10, -83, 87, -14, 3, 0, -76, 87, -8, 3, -7, -63, -12, 84, -5, 0, -53, -26, 65501]

>>> zanza("""Another
... fancy
... stuff""")
[[6, 5], 45, 1, 5, -12, -3, 13, -104, 92, -5, 13, -11, 22, -111, 105, 1, 1, -15, 0]

In the command line input can be passed as a script argument or from stdin.

$ zanza "foo bar baz"
[[1, 0, 2], 9, 0, -79, 66, -1, 17, -82, 66, -1, 25]

$ echo "Encrypt me" | zanza
[[6, 9], 41, -11, 15, 7, -9, 4, -84, 77, -8]

Deobfuscation

>>> from dezanza import dezanza

>>> dezanza([[8, 3], 18, -2, 15, -13, 15, -84, 83, 1, -2, -9, 5, -7, -71, 82, -13, 17, -17, -4, 11, -7, -1])
'Secret string revealed'

>>> dezanza([[7, 8], 33, -101, 98, 3, -1, -7, -2, 13, -104, 101, -13, 4, 15, -2, -16, -2, 19, -15, -1])
'No\nlonger\nobfuscated'

Using the command line:

$ dezanza "[[7, 6], 35, 0, -4, -75, 65, 19, -84, 77, -8, -69, 78, 1, 8]"
Look at me now

$ echo "[[7, 3], 43, -84, 87, -8, 3, -7, 8, -82]" | dezanza
It works!
