An electronics manufacturer wants to hamper analysis of internal configuration code while preserving its functionality. Which option is the BEST approach?
Remove comments and line breaks
Encrypt code files at rest
Reformat code for more concise syntax
Shuffle references and rename internal structures in the code
Shuffling references and renaming structures makes it significantly harder to interpret the software logic. Removing lines or comments does not hinder analysis as it leaves variable and function identification intact. Reformatting for better readability enhances comprehension and does not hamper analysis. Encrypting at rest does not address the fact that the code becomes readable once loaded in memory.
