[!IMPORTANT] Defensive Use Only: BLA is engineered strictly for software authors and security teams protecting their own intellectual property and release artifacts. See DISCLAIMER.md. Always install from official sources: qybaihe/bla or npm i bla-agents.

🔴 Without BLA

AI reverse-engineering agents (REA + coding agents) unpack .asar archives, recover SourceMaps, trace IPC bridges, inspect .wasm / .sqlite / .safetensors, and clone core business logic in seconds for ~$0.20.

</td> <td width="33%" valign="top">

🛡️ With BLA (bla harden .)

Every analyzer pass hits deterministic resource ceilings (primitive-candidates > 256, ASAR > 16 MiB, WASM > Wabt cap, SQLite virtual trap), follows realistic shadow state machines, and projects 300×–2,800× modeled token amplification (token-estimator.ts).

⚡ Runtime-Equivalent by Design

Exhaustion graphs and decoy payloads sit behind $O(1)$ number-theoretic opaque predicates ($7x^2 - 1 \neq y^2 \pmod 7$) or inert format sections. 14/14 bundled benchmark targets pass input/output equivalence tests (bla verify checks Counter-REA structural gates; run your project's test suite for custom artifacts).

⚡ 30-Second Quick Start

1. One-Command CLI Hardening

Point BLA at any project or release directory. It auto-discovers build outputs (dist/, build/, .asar, .wasm, .sqlite, .safetensors, native binaries, Python/C/Rust/Go) and runs audit → protect → verify:

# Node.js ^22.23.4 or >=24.0.0 recommended
npx bla-agents harden .

2. Agent-Driven Closed-Loop Defense (MCP + Skill)

Register BLA once with your coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot CLI, VS Code, OpenCode, Antigravity):

npx bla-agents setup

Then simply prompt your coding agent:

Harden my software against REA

Your host agent automatically orchestrates BLA's MCP tools (bla_weave_plan → source-level logic weaving & string encryption → bla_verify_weave → bla_harden → bla_verify) to harden both your source architecture and compiled artifacts.

3. Build Bundler Plugin (Vite / Rollup / Webpack / esbuild)

Protect JS chunks, strip/replace SourceMaps with VLQ v3 honey maps, and shield .wasm assets automatically at bundle time:

import { defineConfig } from "vite";
import { blaVitePlugin } from "bla-agents/bundler";

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [blaVitePlugin({ intensity: "bankrupt", enableHoneySourceMaps: true })],
});

🧠 How BLA Works: Agent-Driven Closed Loop

Traditional obfuscators only rename variables (_0x1a2b), which modern LLMs effortlessly summarize, or wrap binaries in heavy VM packers that break cross-platform builds and degrade performance.

BLA 3.x combines format-native deterministic shields with host-agent surgical source weaving:

Defense Pillar	Mechanism	Effect on AI Reverse-Engineering Agents
1. Poison (Deception)	Plants format-valid canaries, SGX/TPM2/Secure Enclave delegation manifests, VLQ v3 honey SourceMaps, and plausible shadow state machines.	Forces LLM agents to split context across conflicting hypotheses and chase synthetic rabbit holes.
2. Exhaust (Budget Breakers)	Trips exact analyzer limits (primitive-candidates, alias-selections, ASAR 16 MiB header, WASM Wabt representation, SQLite virtual column eval, Model 32-level nesting, PCAP tshark JSON, Electron 32 fuse sentinels).	Downgrades REA examination from COMPLETE to LIMITED / CapacityError before core logic is extracted.
3. Entangle (Anti-Strip & Self-Seal)	Binds sibling artifacts (JS ↔ WASM ↔ Native sidecars) via runtime SHA-256 digests (--self-seal, --sidecar-entangle) and multi-site caller scope folding (bla_bind_scope).	Prevents red-team agents from stripping decoys, nop-patching single-point checks, or calling exported functions as offline oracles.
4. Runtime Truman Show	Hardens Electron V1 Fuses (RunAsNode=0, Inspect=0) and detects CDP / Node Inspector / Frida / WebDriver attachment (runtime-shield.ts).	Serves believable synthetic telemetry during live debugging while keeping normal user execution untouched.

🔬 Empirical Results vs. Real REA

These numbers come from running real morluto/rea against BLA-hardened samples on commodity hardware (npm run redteam:rea). Full machine-readable report: docs/redteam/empirical-rea-validation.md / .json.

How to read this: “Empirically verified” means the live REA analyzer path returned the listed budget / capacity / redaction failure in this environment. It is not a claim about Ghidra/Frida/LLDB/Rizin/JADX sessions we did not run here.

Empirically Verified on Commodity Hardware

Recorded under Node v24.22.1 with optional Wabt 1.0.42 + tshark 4.4 when noted. Soft-skips keep Node 22 / CI green when external native tools are absent.

Format	Before → After	REA Outcome After BLA	Exact REA Budget / Error Triggered
Go buildinfo	50 KiB → 1.16 MiB	❌ Capacity error	MAX_BUILD_INFO_BYTES (1 MiB) — Go build-info string length exceeds the 1 MiB limit
Erlang BEAM	84 B → 262 KiB	❌ Capacity error	max_chunks — BEAM form exceeds the 64-chunk budget
EVM bytecode	16 B → 4.00 MiB	⚠️ Approaches full cap	EVM_INTERFACE_LIMITS.inputBytes (4 MiB)
PCAP	24 B → 1.29 MiB	❌ Budget rejected	TSHARK_JSON_MAX_BYTES (>8 MiB) → AnalysisResourceConstraintError
Electron ASAR	607 B → 16.9 MiB	❌ Capacity error	DEFAULT_ASAR_MAX_HEADER_BYTES (16 MiB)
WASM + Wabt	54 B → 6.56 MiB · 251 exports	⚠️ ifaceState=partial	WASM_INTERFACE_REPRESENTATION_BYTES — Typed WASM interface decoding exceeds WABT budget
SQLite (Node 24)	12 KiB → 56 KiB	❌ Redaction / eval trap	SqliteColumnEvaluationFailure — unknown enclave_unseal_payload() on virtual trap columns
JavaScript	761 B → 116 KiB	❌ Budget rejected	alias-selections + getter-expansion + primitive-bytes + primitive-candidates
Safetensors	128 B → 10.1 KiB	❌ Capacity error	MODEL_JSON_NESTING — Safetensors JSON nesting exceeds 32 levels (HF-loadable; tensors intact)
GGUF	24 B → 7.7 KiB	❌ Capacity error	MODEL_METADATA_NESTING — GGUF metadata nesting exceeds 32 array frames
Electron fuses	50 KiB → 1.16 MiB	❌ Budget rejected	ELECTRON_FUSE_LIMITS.maximumSentinelsPerSlice (>32)
Flutter pool	50 KiB → 1.16 MiB	⚠️ Projected cap	MAX_POOL_URIS / MAX_POOL_TOKENS (REA truncates with “at least N”)

Reproduce locally:

export REA_WABT_BIN_DIRECTORY=$HOME/opt/wabt-1.0.42/bin   # optional
npm run build && npm run redteam:rea

These shields exist in-tree and are covered by unit tests / catalog drift checks, but the matching REA path requires external native debuggers/decompilers not installed on the CI runner:

Area	Why Unverified Here
Ghidra / native decompilation depth	Requires a local Ghidra install + REA bridge
Frida / LLDB / GDB / Rizin live sessions	Requires those debuggers + device/process attach
JADX / full Android APK pipeline	APK resigning unsupported; standalone DEX shield is in-tree
Firmware containers	Staging/extraction budgets exist; no honest E2E without firmware corpora
SPIR-V / CUDA fatbinary / AMD GPU objects	Need native GPU object decoders; PTX text is shielded in-tree
EVMole in-process EVM decode	Not pathable in-process; EVM shield densifies to the 4 MiB input cap

🔒 Security & Configuration Defaults

• Per-Project Random Seed — BLA automatically generates and persists a unique cryptographic seed in .blarc / bla.config.json on first run so two projects never share decoy identifiers.
• Strict Packaging Lint Gates (bla lint) — Refuses bankrupt hardening when plaintext FLAG{...} secrets, single-point integrity checks, or unbound exported verifiers remain in source.
• Opt-In --llm-directives — Aggressive in-band prompt decoys are off by default; pass --llm-directives (or llmDirectives: true) to enable.
• Opt-In Signed Attestation (--manifest) — Emit .bla-manifest.json with --manifest, sign with --sign-manifest --manifest-key <pem>, and verify both ed25519 signature and artifact SHA-256 via bla verify-manifest <file> --public-key <pem>.

❓ FAQ

<details> <summary><strong>Which coding agents can use BLA?</strong></summary>

Any coding agent supporting MCP or SKILL.md workflows. npx bla-agents setup auto-registers Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Google Antigravity, OpenCode, VS Code, and GitHub Copilot CLI. After setup, the bundled blind-llm-agents skill guides your agent through the closed-loop workflow (bla_weave_plan → source weave → bla_harden → bla_verify).

</details> <details> <summary><strong>Does BLA slow down my app or change runtime output?</strong></summary>

No on the hot path. Exhaustion graphs sit behind $O(1)$ number-theoretic opaque predicates, and binary/model/database decoys live in inert metadata or honey tables. Every benchmark target verifies 100% input/output equivalence against the original build.

</details> <details> <summary><strong>Do I need Ghidra, Hopper, IDA, or Wabt installed to protect files?</strong></summary>

No. All 19+ format shields are built into bla-agents in pure TypeScript/Node.js. External tools (Wabt, tshark) are only used if you run the optional live REA red-team suite (npm run redteam:rea).

</details> <details> <summary><strong>Can BLA be used to attack other people's software?</strong></summary>

No. BLA is strictly a Blue Team defensive tool that hardens your own build artifacts before release. See DISCLAIMER.md.
