//! # `muddy`
//!
//! `muddy` is a static string obfuscation library, designed to provide an easy way of avoiding simple static binary analysis tools such as `strings` or YARA rules.
//! It functions by encrypting texts at buildtime, and decrypting them lazily at runtime.
//!
//!
//! ## Usage & Examples
//!
//! ```rust
//! use muddy::{m, muddy_init};
//!
//! muddy_init!();
//!
//! println!("{}", m!("My highly obfuscated text"));
//! println!("{}", "My non obfuscated static str - ripgrep me");
//!
//! ```
//!
//!
//! > Compile this example and grep the binary for `obfuscated`:
//! >
//! > `cargo b --example simple`
//! >
//! > `strings ./target/debug/examples/simple | grep obfuscated`
//! > Only the second nonobfuscated line should appear.
//! >
//!
//!
//!
//! `muddy` primarily provides the exported `m!()`, `#[muddy]`, and `muddy_all! { }` macros, all which
//! take text as input and encrypt it. The `muddy_init!()` macro provides the scaffolding
//! for decrypting the strings at runtime and should be placed at the `root` of the user's crate.
//!
//! These macros can be used as an in-place text replacement with `m!("my text")`:
//!
//! ```rust
//! use muddy::{muddy_init, m};
//!
//! muddy_init!();
//!
//! println!("{}", m!("my plaintext"));
//! ```
//!
//! As an annotated `&'static str` with the [`muddy`] attribute:
//!
//! ```rust
//! use muddy::{muddy, muddy_init};
//!
//! muddy_init!();
//!
//! #[muddy]
//! static MY_STR: &str = "my plaintext";
//!
//! # fn main() {}
//! ```
//!
//! Or as an invocation around multiple annotated `&'static str`s with [`muddy_all`]:
//!
//! ```rust
//! use muddy::{muddy_all, muddy_init};
//!
//! muddy_init!();
//!
//! muddy_all! {
//! pub static MY_STR: &str = "my plaintext";
//! pub static MY_SECOND_STR: &str = "my second plaintext";
//! static MY_THIRD_STR: &str = "my module-specific third plaintext";
//! }
//!
//! # fn main() {}
//! ```
//!
//! By default, `muddy` will encrypt the static strings with the [`chacha20poly1305`] implementation,
//! and embed the key inside the binary.
//!
//! To avoid hardcoding the deobfuscation key into your binary, you may use:
//!
//! // NOTE: this test will fail if run by tests since the key needs to be provided at runtime
//! ```rust,no_run
//!
//! use muddy::{m, muddy_init};
//!
//! muddy_init!("env");
//!
//! // If you build your program with `muddy_init!("env")`,
//! // the deobfuscation key env variable and deobfuscation key
//! // will be printed out to stderr:
//! // `MUDDY='D47A372C13DEFED74FD3B9B4C741C355F9CB2C23C43F98ADE2C02FD50CA55C3D'`
//!
//! // This key needs to be provided at runtime else the program will panic.
//! // `MUDDY='D47A372C13DEFED74FD3B9B4C741C355F9CB2C23C43F98ADE2C02FD50CA55C3D' ./target/debug/examples/env`
//! # fn main() {
//! println!("{}", m!("My highly obfuscated text"));
//! println!("{}", "My non obfuscated static str - ripgrep me");
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//!
//! If `muddy_init!("env")` is set, the `MUDDY` (by default) env variable will be checked at runtime for the key and the program will panic if it's not found.
//!
//! You can also set your own env key identifier at buildtime through `MUDDY`:
//! This: `MUDDY='MY_KEY_NAME_2' cargo b --example env`
//! prints: `MY_KEY_NAME_2='FD5B85045B5278F5EDA567AD7C58EB56934BD8D7432C878B1AB6090052A64080'`
//!
//!
//! ### `muddy_init!`
//!
//! `muddy_init!()` can take one of two values:
//! - `muddy_init!("embed")`
//! - `muddy_init!("env")`
//!
//! If no value is provided, the macro defaults to the `"embed"` configuration.
//! If `"env"` is provided, you may also set the env key identifier as the second field: `muddy_init!("env", "MY_KEY")`
//!
//!
//!
//! ### Note on obfuscation and encryption
//!
//! This crate does not provide any form of real encryption. It only makes the task of understanding strings
//! in your binary more difficult. [Obfuscation is not security](https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/656.html).
//!
//! This crate also _does not_ obfuscate any debug symbols you may have.
//! Profile settings such as
//! ```toml
//! # inside Cargo.toml
//!
//! [profile]
//! strip = true
//! panic = "abort"
//! # ...
//! ```
//! and more can be found in the [cargo reference](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/profiles.html).
//!
//! ### Macro expansion
//!
//! To check what this macro expands to:
//! - install [cargo expand](https://github.com/dtolnay/cargo-expand)
//! - run: `cargo expand -p muddy --example env`
//!
//!
