As developers, protecting our code is crucial, especially when working on a commercial project. Lua, being an open-source language, can be easily reverse-engineered, which can lead to theft or unauthorized access. An obfuscator is a tool that helps to make our code unreadable to others. And with the rise of cloud-based services, an online SaaS obfuscator is the best option to secure your code. Here are five features of our online LuaObfuscator and how they can be helpful for developers.

HTTP REST API

The LuaObfuscator comes with an HTTP REST API that enables developers to integrate our obfuscator into their existing workflows. By using our API, developers can automate the obfuscation process, making it faster and easier to secure their code. They can also customize the obfuscation process by passing parameters through the API. For example, they can choose to include/exclude certain configurations from the obfuscation process, in other words, they can choose the level of complexity they want to apply.

Using the HTTP REST API is helpful for developers who want to integrate obfuscation into their existing CI/CD pipelines. By automating the obfuscation process, they can ensure that their code is always protected, without needing to manually run the obfuscator.

Discord Bot

The LuaObfuscator also comes with a Discord bot that allows developers to obfuscate their code directly from Discord. This feature is helpful for developers who want to quickly obfuscate their code without leaving their development environment. They can simply type a command in the Discord channel, and the obfuscator will take care of the rest.

Using the Discord bot is helpful for developers who are already using Discord as their communication platform. It eliminates the need to switch between different tools to obfuscate their code, making the process more streamlined and efficient.

VSCode Plugin

The LuaObfuscator also comes with a VSCode plugin that allows developers to obfuscate their code directly from their code editor. This feature is helpful for developers who want to obfuscate their code without leaving their development environment. They can simply open the lua file they want to obfuscate and click the obfuscation button from the bottom menu bar.

Using the VSCode plugin is helpful for developers who are already using VSCode as their code editor. It eliminates the need to switch between different tools to obfuscate their code, making the process more streamlined and efficient.

GitHub Actions

The LuaObfuscator can also be integrated with GitHub Actions, enabling developers to obfuscate their code automatically every time they push a new commit to their repository. This feature is helpful for developers who want to ensure that their code is always protected, without needing to manually run the obfuscator.

Using GitHub Actions is helpful for developers who are already using GitHub as their code repository. By automating the obfuscation process, they can ensure that their code is always protected, without needing to manually run the obfuscator.

Online Website with GUI

Finally, our LuaObfuscator also comes with an online website with a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows developers to obfuscate their code without needing to install any additional software. This feature is helpful for developers who want a quick and easy way to obfuscate their code without needing to configure any settings.

Using the online website is helpful for developers who are not familiar with command-line interfaces, CI/CL, Discord bots, or who want a simple way to obfuscate their code. They can simply upload their files, click the prefered obfuscation technique, and download the obfuscated file using the big pink 'Download' button.

Conclusion

In conclusion, our LuaObfuscator offers multiple features that can be helpful for developers who want to protect their Lua code, Roblox script, GameGuardian file, or any other asset. Note that we also have lua beautifiers and minifiers that might also fit your needs.
