# RIP Relative Addressing
## RIP Relative Addressing
In order to allow for a routine to be scattered throughout a 64bit address space, RIP relative addressing must not be used. In order to facilitate this, a very special version
of clang-cl is used which can use `mcmodel=large`. This will generate instructions which do not use RIP relative addressing when referencing symbols outside of the routine in which the
The linker is able to get the address of the branching code by taking the rip relative virtual address of the branching operation, which is a signed number, and adding it to the current byte offset into the current routine, plus the size of the branching instruction. For example `LoopDemo@17` + size of the branching instruction, which is six bytes, then adding the signed relative virtual address (0x2A). The result of this simple calculation gives us `LoopDemo@65`, which is correct, the branch goes to `add rsp, 28h` in the above example.
# Obfuscation
## Obfuscation
The usage of the word obfuscation in this project is use to define any changes made to code, this includes code flow. `obfuscation::obfuscate`, a base class, which is inherited and expanded upon by `obfuscation::mutation`, obfuscates code flow by inserting `JMP [RIP+0x0]` instructions after every single instruction. This allows for a routine to be broken up into unique allocations of memory and thus provides more canvas room for creative ideas.
