Isn't that just reverse engineering and cleaver renaming based on what the functions/variables actually do?


"just"


So your implying that it's not trivial. I acknowledge that.

What I was implying is that a third party deobfuscation project by reverse engineering with minimal input from the original developers would presumably be different in terms of variable/function names, etc, comparing it to the original source.
