Program just exits

[ankushgoel27]

i give the apk as the argument. The program just exits. It happens when i dont give any argument to it.

python obfuscators/obfuscators.py just exits.

[ankushgoel27]

i have been doing some debugging and the error is "list index out of range". Any idea what it means?

Hi! Although without the exact output and invocation is hard to understand, I guess it’s due to the fact that the obfuscators.py command expects a directory that contains the APKs as a first argument and the list of obfuscators to apply as the second argument. See the main() function at the very bottom of obfuscators.py

thats the thing, there is no output. I printed the exception and saw list index out of range error. This is how i am running the command - Python obfuscator/obfuscators.py dir_With_apks_to_obfuscate Lib and still no output. No error log. Nothing.

[ankushgoel27]

obfuscators to apply is already mentioned in the program. I added some obfuscators to the list. Then i ran the program with only 1 argument - dir with apks. And still no output.

[ankushgoel27]

The error is coming from the apply_dir function

[ankushgoel27]

i was able to fix few issues. Changed the name of adam_base_dir to base_dir as there is not adam_base_dir. The list out of index error was fixed.Now i was able to get the log file.

[ankushgoel27]

I think the issue is in the apply_dir function where adam_base_dir is given as input but not defined anywhere. no such dir is created or defined.

[ankushgoel27]

i was able to fix atleast compiling and decompiling but there are more issues here.

[ankushgoel27]

where is the output file generated?

[ismaelsilver]

Good evening, my friends, sorry to comment on this question, but it was the only pulse that I found it, I can not in any way overshadow my apk, I did everything in the script but it did not work. They could donate me, present the script of yours that is working or fix me to solve, excuse the writing

[SamHoque]

Hi, were you able to fix all of the obfuscation types? I have fixed around 40% of it. I am not a Python dev so It's taking a few for me to fix the error as I read through what all the methods means in the python docs.

[ankushgoel27]

i am still trying but not able to fix it completely. taking a lot of time.

[SamHoque]

I started yesterday and already fixed 40% of it, It's really simple but there is some major issues that the creator of this lib didn't think about while making it at the time. One of the biggest thing is the lib doesn't support MultiLib

[ICommandMachinesObey]

@LynxKik You're not telling anything useful. how you fixed 40%, what did you do?

[SamHoque]

@ICommandMachinesObey I don't have to tell anything useful, Maybe get basic programming knowledge before trying to use an open source program.
