Could you build this?
No Writing custom compiler passes for LLVM to achieve binary obfuscation against LLM decompiler models demands deep compiler internals knowledge, Intermediate Representation (IR) manipulation, and reverse engineering expertise.
What it would actually take: Built as an out-of-tree or in-tree C++ LLVM pass plugin targeting LLVM IR. The complex engineering requires writing control-flow flattening, opaque predicate insertion, instruction substitution, and symbol/metadata stripping specifically tuned to disrupt token sequence recognition and control flow graph (CFG) analysis by LLM decompiler models without degrading execution performance or introducing bugs.
