Assume you have your_app binary file. If one runs strings your_app, all the strings you used in your code can be revealed.

This method helps you hide strings from the binary file.

gcc hide.cc -o hide

./hide

Use strings hide to see that your string is actually hidden.

The word.sh script is here to assist you creating such strings. Usage: ./word.sh "Luke Skywalker"

Output:

char str[512];
c(str,'L', 'u', 'k', 'e', ' ', 'S', 'k', 'y', 'w', 'a', 'l', 'k', 'e', 'r');
