AltDel

I recently tried out AltDel - a software that claims to be a top-notch Delphi source project obfuscator. This software achieves obfuscation by utilizing a 5-phase script-driven lexical compiler that effectively lowers the language level of Delphi source projects.

The main purpose of AltDel is to serve as a deterrent against reverse engineering. Delphi executables, in particular, are relatively easy to reverse-engineer because they contain vast amounts of source code information. Good Delphi decompilers are capable of reconstructing all aspects of a project, including forms, source names, and even strings. By using AltDel to maintain well-formed source projects while releasing ever-changing obfuscated versions, developers can keep their Delphi programming hidden from bad actors.

Overall, I was impressed with AltDel's ability to obfuscate Delphi projects and protect them from reverse engineering. While the software is not perfect and may require some additional fine-tuning, it is certainly a step in the right direction for those who want to ensure their Delphi programming remains hidden from prying eyes.
