Obfuscate'ing a.out ... ???
Hi all,

I've search the forums regarding posts similar to this already but can't find the suitable response. Am actually looking for something very trivial I think. I just want to mask/obfuscate the a.out file and run it like a normal UNIX program. I've look at gpg and encryption but it requires a pass phrase which is not possible if I want to run the program via a cron job.

Any advise will be very much appreciated. Note that the code below is just an example. I suppose am looking for someting like a Base64 encoder/decoder kind of thing that some PHP sites uses so that the PHP codes are still runnable but the visitors does not see the actual PHP codes.

Thanks in advance.

Code:
#include<stdio.h>

main()
{
   /* system("monitor_standby_physical.sh"); */

  system("sqlplus system/oracle@test");
}

strings a.out:

Code:
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
_Jv_RegisterClasses
__gmon_start__
libc.so.6
system
__libc_start_main
GLIBC_2.2.5
sqlplus system/oracle@test

apache_child_terminate

APACHE_CHILD_TERMINATE(3)						 1						 APACHE_CHILD_TERMINATE(3)

apache_child_terminate - Terminate apache process after this request

SYNOPSIS

       bool apache_child_terminate (void  )

DESCRIPTION

       apache_child_terminate(3)  will register the Apache process executing the current PHP request for termination once execution of PHP code is
       completed. It may be used to terminate a process after a script with high memory consumption has been run as memory will  usually  only	be
       freed internally but not given back to the operating system.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns  TRUE  if  PHP is running as an Apache 1 module, the Apache version is non-multithreaded, and the child_terminate PHP directive is
       enabled (disabled by default). If these conditions are not met, FALSE is returned and an error of level E_WARNING is generated.
