Web Code Obfuscation for Anti-Automation

The patent applies dynamics by transforming static web code names and structures into dynamic, randomly changing elements. Each time web code is served, names of software objects, fields, and functions are randomized through transformations such as name obfuscation and structure modification. This creates a moving target that prevents automated malicious code from reliably identifying and exploiting specific code elements, while legitimate users experience no difference in functionality.

The patent changes parameters of web code by applying random transformations to code names, structures, and configurations each time the code is served. Parameters such as object names, field names, and function identifiers are modified using techniques like hashing, encoding, or random string generation. This parameter randomization maintains functional equivalence for legitimate operations while preventing automated attacks that rely on predictable code patterns.

The patent introduces an intermediary layer between the original web code and the served code. This intermediary system applies automated transformations to randomize code names and structures while maintaining a mapping between original and transformed elements. The intermediary handles the complexity of code management internally, allowing the original code to remain unchanged and manageable while the served code exhibits randomized properties that resist automated attacks.

The patent creates transformed copies of the original web code rather than modifying the original directly. Each served instance is a copy with randomized names and structures, but the original code remains intact and manageable. This copying approach allows multiple randomized versions to be generated from a single manageable source, reducing code management complexity while maintaining attack resistance.
