So how to obfuscate Html classes using Python?

Pin

First, create a new folder and put your Html files, CSS file, and Javascript files inside that folder.

Then create a Python file named app.py

Install the html-classes-obfuscater package via the following pip command.

pip install html-classes-obfuscator

Then put the following code inside app.py file.

import glob
import random
import string
from html_classes_obfuscator import html_classes_obfuscator

htmlfiles = glob.glob("./**/*.html", recursive=True)
cssfiles = glob.glob("./**/*.css", recursive=True)
jsfiles = glob.glob("./**/*.js", recursive=True)

print(htmlfiles)
print(cssfiles)
print(jsfiles)

# Generate random string
def generate_class(current_classes_list):

    def random_class():
        # Offers (26*2)^6 random class name possibilities
        return ''.join(random.choice(string.ascii_letters) for i in range(6))

    res = random_class()

    while res in current_classes_list.values():
        res = random_class()

    return res

html_classes_obfuscator.html_classes_obfuscator(htmlfiles, cssfiles, jsfiles, generate_class)

Now run that file. It will automatically replace the origins Html, CSS, and js files with the obfuscated version of the file.
That’s it.
