	Obfuscated code - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One definition of "code obfuscation" is a set of transformations on a program, that preserve the same fl box specification while making the internals difficult to reverse-engineer.
		Obfuscation serves to increase the difficulty of decompilation, usually forcing someone who wants that information to use more costly forms of reverse engineering.
		Source code obfuscators are often buggy because most are built using simple-string munging tools that fail to account for all the complexities of the source language syntax.

	C programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		C is distinguished for the efficiency of the code it produces, and is the most commonly used programming language for writing system software, though it is also widely used for writing applications.
		As a result, it is possible to write C code at a low level of abstraction analogous to assembly language; in fact C is sometimes referred to (and not always pejoratively) as "high-level assembly" or "portable assembly." It is also sometimes referred to as a mid-level language.
		C is used as an intermediate language by some high-level languages (Eiffel, Sather, Esterel) which do not output object or machine code, but output C source code only, which is then input to a C compiler, which then outputs finished object or machine code.

		Code obfuscation means applying a set of transformations to a program, preserving its fl box specification in order to make it more difficult to reverse-engineer.
		Obfuscated C Codes are highly creative examples of coding employing the “C” programming language.
		The aims of the contest are to present the most obscure and obfuscated C program, to demonstrate the importance of ironic programming style, to give prominence to compilers with unusual code and to illustrate the subtleties of the C language.

		IOCCC) is a programming contest for the most creatively obfuscated C code held annually since 1984 (with the exception of 1997, 1999, 2002 and 2003).
		They decided to hold a contest for the worst possible C code.
		The nature of this contest has naturally resulted in programs which skirt around the edges of C standards, or result in constructs which trigger rarely used code path combinations in compilers.

		IOCCC) is held every year to produce the shortest, funniest, or most unreadable C programs.
		There are many optimization goals: speed, maintainability, object code size, or source code size as in the contest.
		The contest is an excellent place to practise how to gain such control for an application of a limited scale.

	OTCC : Obfuscated Tiny C Compiler
		The Obfuscated Tiny C Compiler (OTCC) is a very small C compiler I wrote in order to win the International Obfuscated C Code Contest (IOCCC) in 2002.
		I choose a subset of C which was general enough to write a small C compiler.
		Then I extended the C subset until I reached the maximum size authorized by the contest: 2048 bytes of C source excluding the ';', '{', '}' and space characters.

	A Sip From The Firehose: The 15th International Obfuscated C Code Contest
		The goals of the conference are to: 1) write the most obscure C program, show the importance of programming style, stress C compilers (we love this one), point out some of the interesting (and possibly less used) parts of the C language, and to give some great examples of poor coding standards.
		Years ago (in the early days of Turbo C), one of our engineers showed me a C function that only had a return statement that was many, many lines long.
		If you have obscure code and don't want to submit it to the contest, why not share it with the rest of our community by putting the code in our code central repository.

	Internet Obfuscated C Code Contest
		The original inspiration of the International Obfuscated C Code Contest came from the Bourne Shell source and the finger command as distributed in 4.2BSD.
		(that contest in turn was inspired by disgust over a novel that opened with the line "It was a dark and stormy night.") The rules were simple: write, in 512 bytes or less, the worst complete C program.
		The next stage towards understanding is to use a C beautifier or C indenting program on the source.

		Many thanks to the people at the IOCCC from where the design is taken for their help and permission.
		Essentially this competition is for programmers in the C language to create programs that do "interesting" things, which is not obvious when looking at the code itself (hence "obfuscated).
		Doing something as simple as emailing the code to a friend outside the USA from within it was illegal despite the code not being copyright as such.

	Jargon - Obfuscated C Contest (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The overall winner is whoever produces the most unreadable, creative, and bizarre (but working) C program; various other prizes are awarded at the judges' whim.
		C's terse syntax and macro-preprocessor facilities give contestants a lot of maneuvering room.
		The winning programs often manage to be simultaneously (a) funny, (b) breathtaking works of art, and (c) horrible examples of how not to code in C. This relatively short and sweet entry might help convey the flavor of obfuscated C:

		To split a line, place an E at the point of a split and place a C (instead of an X) at the beginning of the next line.
		If the program does not end in a newline, end the last line with an E. Leading X's, trailing E's followed by the two characters "\nC", and an E at the last character of the last line are not considered to part of the source and thus don't contribute toward the source character count.
		In your entry, every line in this section must begin with either an X or a C. Example: XThis is a single line containing 79 E Ccharacters including the E Cfinal newline.
