Additional security features
Over the past few weeks, I’ve tested several online Lua obfuscation tools, both free and paid. One thing I quickly noticed is that many paid services only allow a single free obfuscation before requiring a subscription or payment.
I also tested a number of free web-based obfuscators. During my testing, I discovered that some of these tools were injecting their own code into the obfuscated output.
For example, one tool inserted product IDs into my scripts. While testing my game with a friend, we started receiving random in-game purchase prompts encouraging us to buy products such as a flying carpet and other developer items that had absolutely nothing to do with my game.
At first, I couldn’t work out what was causing it.
Everything was working perfectly while I was testing in demo mode. However, after obfuscating my main game scripts and publishing the update, both my friend and I began seeing these unexpected purchase pop-ups. None of these products were part of my original game.
As soon as I reverted to my original, unobfuscated scripts and republished the game, the pop-ups disappeared completely.
This was a huge red flag.
While free tools may seem tempting, especially those shared by other developers, you should always be extremely careful about what you’re publishing. You should never blindly trust an obfuscator with your game’s source code without knowing exactly what it’s doing. A malicious or poorly written obfuscator could potentially damage your game’s reputation, frustrate your players, and even cost you part of your player base.
After spending far too much time downloading and testing tools that either weren’t suitable or injected unwanted code, I decided to build my own solution instead.
My project is based on the well-known Prometheus Lua Obfuscator, which is open source and fully available to inspect:
Because it’s open source, anyone can review exactly how it works, which gives me far more confidence than using closed-source online obfuscators.
Rather than simply packaging Prometheus, I’ve completely redesigned and modernised the user interface to make it much cleaner and easier to use. I’ve also started adding a number of new features.
Some of the improvements include:
- A modern, more user-friendly interface.
- Code beautification, allowing formatted and readable output instead of one extremely long line of code.
- Additional quality-of-life features that make working with Lua scripts much easier.
The user panel is still under active development, and I have plenty more features planned before it’s finished.
The main website is now ready for public testing, and I’d really appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or feature requests you may have.
Thanks for taking the time to read this! For any suggestions or feedback, please respond here or PM me.
Thank you and enjoy
Major System Update – v1.3.0 Live!
We are excited to announce that the system has been fully updated and stabilized!
What’s New & Improved:
- Full Modern Lua Compatibility: Since Prometheus lacked support for the latest Lua versions, we completely rewrote the engine from scratch to ensure seamless compatibility with modern Lua syntax.
- Automatic Smart Configuration: The system now automatically detects code complexity and dynamically applies optimal settings, guaranteeing 100% execution stability without extra setup.
- Custom Salt Protection: You can now inject custom characters as an added salt layer, giving your code an extra tier of security directly from the Obfuscate tab.
- Dashboard & Engine Overhaul: The entire user dashboard has been revamped with a cleaner look, expanded statistics tracking, reliable avatar saving, and smart file naming.
- Bug Fixes: A massive batch of minor bugs and engine issues have been resolved across the platform.
Please give the new update a test and share your feedback or report any edge-case issues in our feedback channel. Thank you for your continued support!
