Before understanding the solution, one must grasp the problem. Obfuscation is the deliberate act of making source code difficult for humans to understand while preserving its functionality. Common techniques include renaming variables to single letters ( a , b , c ), encoding strings in hexadecimal or Base64, and flattening logical control flows into complex switch statements.
Advanced obfuscators mess with the logic flow; high-end deobfuscators attempt to straighten this back out.
