Java & Android Obfuscator Tool Suggestion [closed]

Question

We develop both Android and Java projects, and we need an obfuscator tool with encryption ability. Price is not a concern. What can you suggest me? What is the best obfuscator that can be used both for Java and Android projects?

Answer 1

Some of the Obfuscator are,

ProGuard

ProGuard is a free Java class file shrinker and obfuscator. It can detect and remove unused classes, fields, methods, and attributes. It can then rename the remaining classes, fields, and methods using short meaningless names. The resulting jars are smaller and harder to reverse-engineer.

yGuard

yGuard is an improved version of RetroGuard that comes with an ant task.

JODE

JODE is a java package containing a decompiler and an optimizer for java. The optimizer transforms class files in various ways with can be controlled by a script file. It supports the following operations:

• Renaming class, method, field and local names to shorter, obfuscated, or unique names or according to a given translation table
• Removing debugging information
• Removing dead code (classes, fields, methods) and constant fields
• Optimizing local variable allocation

JavaGuard

JavaGuard is a general purpose bytecode obfuscator, designed to fit effortlessly into your regular build and testing process, providing peace of mind that your valuable Java code is more secure against decompilation and other forms of reverse engineering.

jarg

The jarg reduces the size of a jar file in which java class files are stored. "Size curtailment can be carried out simply" is the 1st target. However, as a result of processing by jarg, since a Java class file is optimized, it becomes quicker, and since it is renamed, it becomes that it is harder to be analyzed. That is, jarg is 'Java Optimizer', and it is 'Java Obfuscator' and is also 'Java Shrinker' or 'Java Reducer'.
