# InvisibilityCloak
Proof-of-concept obfuscation toolkit for C# post-exploitation tools. This will perform the below actions for a C# visual studio project.

* Change the tool name
* Change the project GUID
* Obfuscate compatible strings in source code files based on obfuscation method entered by user
* Removes one-line comments (e.g. // this is a comment)
* Remove PDB string option for compiled release .NET assembly

## String Candidates Not Obfuscated
The below string candidates are not included in obfuscation
* Strings less than 3 characters
* Strings using string interpolation (e.g., `Console.WriteLine($"Hello, {name}! Today is {date.DayOfWeek}, it's {date:HH:mm} now.");`)
* Case statements as they need to be static values
* Const vars as they need to be static values
* Strings in method signatures as they need to be static values
* Line with `" => "` as used in switch statement and needs to be static value.
* ` is ` in an if statement when doing comparison as the values compared must be static
* Strings within Regexes
* Override strings as they need to be static values
* The below random edge cases for strings, as they have caused issues when encoding/decoding
* String starting with or ending with `'`
* `""'` in the line
* `+ @"` in the line
* `"""` in the line
* `""` in the line
* `Encoding.Unicode.GetString` in the line
* `Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes` in the line
* `Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes` in the line
* Line starting with `"` and ending with `")]`. This is typically used for command line switches and needs to be static value.

## Support Information
* Windows
* Linux (Debian-based systems)
* Python3

## Arguments/Options

* `-d, --directory` - directory where your visual studio project is located
* `-m, --method` - obfuscation method (base64, rot13, reverse)
* `-n, --name` - name of your new tool
* `-h, --help` - help menu
* `--version` - get version of tool

## Usage/Examples

### Run InvisibilityCloak with string obfuscation

**Base64 String Obfuscation**

`python InvisibilityCloak.py -d /path/to/project -n "TotallyLegitTool" -m base64`

`python InvisibilityCloak.py -d C:\path\to\project -n "TotallyLegitTool" -m base64`

**ROT13 String Obfuscation**

`python InvisibilityCloak.py -d /path/to/project -n "TotallyLegitTool" -m rot13`

`python InvisibilityCloak.py -d C:\path\to\project -n "TotallyLegitTool" -m rot13`

**Reverse String Obfuscation**

`python InvisibilityCloak.py -d /path/to/project -n "TotallyLegitTool" -m reverse`

`python InvisibilityCloak.py -d C:\path\to\project -n "TotallyLegitTool" -m reverse`

### Run InvisibilityCloak without string obfuscation

`python InvisibilityCloak.py -d /path/to/project -n "TotallyLegitTool"`

`python InvisibilityCloak.py -d C:\path\to\project -n "TotallyLegitTool"`
