This stage deconstructs native files and creates an IL version of them called "Low Level Obfuscation Intermediate File Format" or LLOIFF for short. This branch of the repository is mearly a proposal for the composition of S1 and is entirely subject to change. + +### File Format Deconstructors - dctors + +The term "dctor" is typically refered to class deconstructors, however in the usage in this proposal it refers to file format deconstruction. I went with the "strategy pattern" with my file format deconstruction. + +``` +In computer programming, the strategy pattern is a behavioral software design pattern that enables selecting an algorithm at runtime. Instead of implementing a single algorithm directly, code receives run-time instructions as to which in a family of algorithms to use. + +- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategy_pattern +``` + +This is ideal for deconstruction algorithms as there can be different files to deconstruct and thus different algorithms must run.
