An obfuscation toolkit is used by developers to make source code difficult to understand and reverse engineer. This technique involves altering the code's structure and naming conventions without changing its functionality, making it much harder for attackers to decipher the code or use debugging tools to analyze it. Obfuscation is an important practice in protecting proprietary software and intellectual property from reverse engineering.
