So I decided to try out obfuscating a file multiple times and then ran the file. It froze/locked up my computer/laptop.
So I thought I'd share it.
Steps to reproduce:
Obfuscate a python file like normal. (Preferably a large file)
Obfuscate the obfuscated file. (obf_obf_file.py)
Do this a couple more times. (obf_obf_obf_obf.....etc_file.py. The more the better.)
Run python3 <insert VERY obfuscated file>.
Computer will lock up/freeze. Need to restart.
System Information:
OS: Manjaro Linux x86_64
Kernel: 5.10.93-1-MANJARO
CPU: Intel i7-8565U (8) @ 4.600GHz
RAM: 8GB
Note: I don't doubt that if you obfuscate one file enough times, it'll still work on higher end computers. (Feel free to test)
I also didn't see the "Discussions" tab enabled so I thought I'd just drop this here in the "issues" for now.
Obfuscation "bomb". (Crash/Lockup/Freeze)
