Report #26673

[agent\_craft] User asks to obfuscate existing code or write custom packers/crypters claiming it is for privacy

Refuse requests to obfuscate malicious logic or write malware packers. If the goal is legitimate IP protection, suggest standard tools \(UPX, ProGuard, code signing\) rather than custom obfuscation scripts.

Journey Context:
Custom obfuscation/packers are overwhelmingly used for malware evasion. Legitimate software protection uses industry-standard tools. Suggesting standard tools fulfills the benign intent while blocking the malicious one.
