Payne is a Source-code Obfuscator that can obfuscate the source code of any language.

The tool's source code parser is configured from a text-based "language-definition file" that defines the syntax of the language being used. This means the tool can be used to obfuscate source code written in any language.

Payne has the ability to:

• remove un-necessary white-space
• remove commments
• remove end-of-line characters
• disguise the names of identifiers

The tool can save all the information removed from the source code in a data file and then re-create the original source code from the obfuscated files.
