This pull request introduces significant updates to the obfuscation-detector project, including enhancements to documentation, code refactoring for detectors, dependency updates, and ESLint configuration improvements. These changes aim to improve usability, maintainability, and accuracy of the tool.

Documentation Enhancements:

  • Expanded and restructured README.md with an overview, use cases, API reference, CLI options, troubleshooting, and detailed examples for better user guidance. [1] [2]
  • Replaced the verbose and outdated content in src/detectors/README.md with a modular structure, including a detector overview, list of detectors, and guidelines for adding new detectors.

Code Refactoring:

  • Refactored detectArrayFunctionReplacements in src/detectors/arrayFunctionReplacements.js to simplify logic and improve readability by replacing nested loops with Array.prototype.some.
  • Refactored detectArrayReplacements in src/detectors/arrayReplacements.js to use Array.prototype.some, aligning with modern JavaScript practices.

Dependency Updates:

  • Upgraded eslint from ^9.16.0 to ^9.26.0 and flast from ^2.2.1 to ^2.2.3 in package.json to ensure compatibility and leverage the latest features.

ESLint Configuration:

  • Changed the no-empty rule in eslint.config.js to allow empty catch blocks by enabling the allowEmptyCatch option, improving flexibility for error handling.

… logic

- Major rewrite and expansion of the main README and the detectors' README:
  - Added clear project overview, use cases, CLI/API usage, troubleshooting, and contribution instructions.
  - Provided detailed, structured documentation for each supported obfuscation type and detector.
- Standardized and enhanced JSDoc comments for all detector modules and shared detection methods:
  - Clarified function purposes, parameters, and return values.
  - Improved consistency and accuracy of documentation across the codebase.
- Refactored and clarified code in detector modules and shared methods:
  - Improved variable naming and fixed typos in comments.
  - Made logic and intent clearer, especially in shared detection utilities.

src/index.js:7

  • The logger import is not used in this file. Consider removing it to keep imports clean and avoid unused-variable warnings.
import {generateFlatAST, logger} from 'flast';

src/detectors/sharedDetectionMethods.js:51

  • The JSDoc @returns {ASTNode[]|null} is misleading: the function actually returns a single ASTNode (or undefined). Update the JSDoc to reflect the actual return type.
function arrayIsProvidedAsArgumentToIIFE(references, targetArrayName) {

src/detectors/augmentedArrayReplacements.js:18

  • [nitpick] The variable isFound suggests a boolean, but it's assigned an AST node or undefined. Consider renaming it to foundCandidate or similar for clarity.
const isFound = candidates.find(c => {

  • This refactored logic using some replaces the old loop-based return. Ensure you add or update unit tests to cover cases where arrays are on the threshold of detection.
const isFound = candidates.some(c => {
