I wonder how that seven layer obfuscation works in practice. the gif in the article shows an encrypted string being decrypted (with the decryption key right there in plain sight?) and executed, and I get they try to hide it by right aligning it with ~1000 spaces, but wouldn't that still be super obvious in a git commit diff?
