how to protect/obfuscate corona lua source code ?

assuming that lua code source is visible, for example, at least on a jailbreaked android device for a hacker able to decompile .lu files, i would like to protect or obfuscate my lua code source.

which is the best way to do it ?

is there existing a good software doing this well ?

a lot of Javascript Obfuscator exists… but is there a specific product for lua, and more : for corona ? …

thanks a lot :slight_smile:

AFAIK the Lua is converted to the native language of the target platform and then compiled. Anyone who knows how to use the tools on the platform would be able to decompile it, but I don’t believe they will get the Lua from it. If you really want to obfuscate your Lua you could google “Lua obfuscation” - there’s plenty of results.

If someone wants to reverse engineer your code there is nothing you can do about it - http://luadec.luaforge.net/ for example

Dont’ waste your time on this topic.  It has been asked and answered many times.

The answer is you can’t and it won’t matter.

Above posts say it all and are correct.
