Why No Obfuscator Is Unbreakable
Pufus uses polymorphic encryption and a custom virtual machine to make your scripts as hard to read as possible. In practice, this means anyone trying to decompile your output will face a serious wall.
But here's the honest truth about obfuscation in general: it is never truly unbreakable, and any tool that claims otherwise is lying to you. The reason is simple. No matter how heavily a script is obfuscated, it has to be executed at some point. The moment it runs, the Lua VM processes it in plain form. That means a determined attacker can always hook into the execution environment, dump memory at runtime, or trace the VM step by step until the original logic is exposed. This is not a flaw specific to Pufus. It applies to every obfuscator that has ever existed.
What Pufus does is raise the cost of that attack as high as possible. Static analysis becomes nearly useless. Automated deobfuscators fail. The time and skill required goes way up. For most attackers, it simply won't be worth it. But if someone is skilled enough and patient enough, no obfuscation layer will stop them forever. We accept no liability for any successful reverse engineering of your protected scripts.
