Dependencies

git submodule update --init --recursive

sudo apt install build-essential libboost-locale-dev libboost-serialization-dev \
    libboost-thread-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev \
    libboost-regex-dev libssl-dev

The Netspeak operators are commented out for now, since they need the Netspeak C++ libraries and a local version of the index (not included in this repository).

Compilation

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make [-j8]

Customization

As of now, the search configuration is done in-code. You can find which operators are being applied at which individual path costs in obfuscation/Obfuscator.cpp.
