(C++) Code Transposition by Unprotect
Created the Tuesday 06 December 2022. Updated 2 days, 20 hours ago.
Description:
This code snippet defines a vector of instructions, which are simply integer values from 1 to 10 in this example. The instructions are then shuffled using a random number generator, and the instructions are executed in the rearranged order.
This code demonstrates how code transposition can be used to rearrange the instructions of a piece of code in a random manner, making it more difficult to follow and understand. In a real-world scenario, the instructions would be more complex and would likely have a different impact on the behavior of the code.
Code
#include <iostream>
#include <random>
#include <vector>
int main()
{
std::vector<int> instructions = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 };
// Use a random number generator to shuffle the instructions
std::random_device rd;
std::mt19937 g(rd());
std::shuffle(instructions.begin(), instructions.end(), g);
// Execute the instructions in the rearranged order
for (int instruction : instructions)
{
std::cout << instruction << std::endl;
}
return 0;
}
