Shell Script Compiler (shc) obfuscates shell scripts into binary executables using encryption and anti-debugging techniques. The tool employs ptrace with PTRACE_TRACEME to prevent tracing and debugging, terminating the process if a debugger is detected. Despite these protections, forensic analysis reveals that original shell commands remain visible in the process list and /proc directory once the binary is running, making the obfuscation ineffective against runtime analysis.
