Without hardening, obfuscation is vulnerable to analysis via symbolic
execution because all keys are opened, and it is easy to trace their
connections. Added extendable (contribution-friendly) hardening
mechanism that makes it harder to determine relationship between key and
execution block through key obfuscation.
There are 2 hardeners implemented and both are compatible with literal
obfuscation, which can make analysis even more difficult.
Remove some asthelper APIs that haven't been used for some time.
They can be recovered from the git history if needed again.
One type assertion in the literals package is always true.
Embedded field objects are handled near the top of transformGo, so the
extra !obj.Embedded() check was always true. Remove it.
We always obfuscate standalone funcs now, so the obfuscatedTypesPackage
check is no longer necessary. This was necessary when we used to not
obfuscate func names when they were used in linkname directives.
The workaround for test package imports in obfuscatedTypesPackage I had
to add a few commits ago no longer seems to be necessary. This might be
thanks to the simplification with functions in the paragraph just above.
It's impossible to run garble without -trimpath nowadays, as we error
before the build even starts:
$ go build -toolexec=garble
go tool compile: exit status 1
cannot open shared file, this is most likely due to not running "garble [command]"
When run as "garble build", the trimpath flag is always set. So the
check in alterTrimpath never triggers anymore, and couldn't be tested.
Finally, simplify the handling of comment syntax in printFile, and add a
few TODOs for other code paths not covered by our existing tests.
Total code coverage is up from 90.3% to 91.0%.
Many files were missing copyright, so also add a short script to add the
missing lines with the current year, and run it.
The AUTHORS file is also self-explanatory. Contributors can add
themselves there, or we can simply update it from time to time via
git-shortlog.
Since we have two scripts now, set up a directory for them.
