Building Protected Executable (Windows)

Option 1: Nuitka (Recommended - Best Protection)

Compiles Python to C code - very difficult to reverse engineer.

build_protected.bat

Protection level: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

• Source code compiled to C, then to machine code
• No Python bytecode to decompile
• Control flow obfuscation

Option 2: PyArmor + PyInstaller (Faster Build)

Obfuscates bytecode - moderate protection.

build_obfuscated.bat

Protection level: ⭐⭐⭐

• Bytecode encryption
• Code obfuscation
• Faster build time

Option 3: Standard PyInstaller (No Protection)

build_windows.bat

Protection level: ⭐

• Easy to decompile
• Use only for internal distribution
