How can I obfuscate the codes in my Laravel app?

Why; even the variable name, why?

@alikalan If you don’t want people to see your code, then don’t put it in their hands.

I work at a project and security teams ask me obfuscate the code where I use Database name and column name I search solution on google and not found a good answer for this. so i never like to use Commercial software like Zend Guard etc,

please Help me.

@martinbean If hackers access to source codes for any reason, they can easily find your database structure

I had this bookmarked but never used it. It's free! Good luck

Are you sure you have this right? "If hackers access to source codes".

Knowing the database table structure is the least of your problems at this point.

Either use a proven, commercial product (someone whose promise is to protect your code) or don't bother.

So, lets say you find a product to obfuscate your code. What are you going to apply it to? Just the code on your production server? You still need the original code in order to be able to maintain it.

Then you still have "If hackers access to source codes" since they can get it from your machine, or from the code repository.

Check the requirements. Are you sure they don't just mean to encrypt the data in the tables?

besides your code should be secure even if you shared it with the hackers. If they can look at the code and find a weakness then that weakness exists irrespective of whether you made it easier with the source code. You and your security team should be focussed on making the application secure. Not the source code.

@alikalan If hackers can read your source code then you’ve already lost. Obfuscating column and table names isn’t going to help you when they can just read your database credentials and then connect to the database directly.

@martinbean I do not mean that hackers now have access to my code, but I say that if for any reason my code falls into the hands of anyone who can not see the structure of the database. Sorry if I could not express my point correctly

@snapey Sorry .I could not express my point correctly. I do not mean that hackers now have access to my code. I search a way to obfuscate all of my project . only this.

@artcore I tested it. But I could not use it

Sorry I could not express my points. Good Luck

Who cares if someone knows the structure of your database? Like the others said, focus on securing your application and your server too. Obfuscation is not security.

You may want to study this: https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/encryption As stated above. Even State Governments encrypt certain data, not all.

The solution is to use SourceGuardian. i use it for trail . But @wilk_randall is right.Obfuscation is not security.I focus on securing my application.

Finally i found solution. i use this Repository https://github.com/pk-fr/yakpro-po first install it and then copy your laravel project ( It is better to just copy route and app folder ) to yakpro-po installed folder.

then run php yakpro-po.php your-laravel-directory -o output directory

Thanks for not helping
