<p>I’m sure you have all seen gross, or down right structurally obscene
C source code before. Some people who deal with various parts of the
UN*X source wonder if some folks try rather hard to produce such down
right smelly code.</p>
<p>Now you have the chance to compete with the worst C hackers around by
sending in your own obfuscated C program. Just follow the contest rules
below: 1) the source file must be no more than 512 bytes long</p>
<pre><code> 2) mail your source to: hplabs!nsc!chongo
no later than April 11, 1984. entries posted to
the net will NOT be accepted. please give your
letter the subject of: obfuscated C code contest.
3) winning entries will be posted to net.lang.c after
April 12, 1894. (thats the prize folks)
4) indicate your net address in the text of your
entry, this will be used to give credit unless
you indicate that you want to remain anonymous.
5) entries must be of original work. (dont send anything
that might upset Big Brother Bell) all entries are
public domain. (who would want to own them anyway?!)</code></pre>
<p>Entries will be judged for: violations of structured programming,
non-clarity, and use of “by the K&amp;R book” C. (use of local mods to C
are not encouraged) extra credit if they can be compiled using the
4.2BSD C compiler on our VAX 780, but dont let the lack of a 780 or 4.2
discourage you!</p>
<p>chongo &lt;flames about the contest will be kindly #ifdef’ed out&gt;
//<br />

year to year. Be sure that you consult the current set of rules before
submitting entries.</p>

<p>WARNING: The rules and mailing address for the contest change from
year to year. Be sure that you consult the current set of rules before
submitting entries. ——————————————————————————–</p>
<p>It is time once again for the net wide Obfuscated C code contest!</p>
<p>GOAL: To write the most Obscure working C program under the rules
below:</p>
<p>RULES: 1) The source must be 512 bytes or less. 2) Mail your entries
to: …!ihnp4!nsc!chongo Postings to the net will NOT be used! 3) Include
at the top of the letter: a) Your name, and path from a major network
node. If you want your entry to be anonymous, indicate this as well. b)
A brief statement of what the program should do. c) The machine/opsys on
which it runs. 4) Enclose your source between the following lines:
—start of program— <place obfuscated source here> —end of program— 5)
The C program must be written in common C. That is, K&amp;R plus common
extensions (say 4.2 or Sys V C) 6) The program must be of original work.
7) The program must be a complete program. (i.e., not just a fragment)
8) Entries must be received by me on or before June 8, 1985.</p>
<p>POINTS: Each entry will be judged for its non-clarity. I will attempt
to run each of them on a Vax 780/4.2BSD system. Don’t let the lack of
such a system stop you! Try to avoid operating system/machine specific
code if you do not have such a system. Extra points will be given for
program that:</p>
<pre><code>a) Able to pass lint without complaint
b) Actually does something interesting (not just exit)
c) are portable (i.e., no special calls of local features)
(long variable names will be allowed as needed)</code></pre>
<p>The names of the winners will be posted to net.lang.c. The winning
sources will be posted to net.sources.</p>
<p>If you have any questions on the rules/points above, just ask via
mail!</p>

<p>WARNING: The rules and mailing address for the contest change from

<p>Subject: Third International Obfuscated C Code Contest Rules
Newsgroups: net.lang.c Keywords: rules,1986,obfuscate,contest</p>
<p>GOAL: To write the most Obscure working C program following the rules
below:</p>
<p>RULES: 1) The source must be 1024 bytes or less. NO exceptions!</p>
<pre><code>2) Include in your letter:
a) Name (or anonymous), Company/School, City, State and Country.
b) Your path from a major network site, if applicable.
c) A brief statement of what the program should do.
d) The Machine(s)/Operating system(s) on which it runs.
e) Enclose your source between the following lines:
---start of program---
&lt;place obfuscated source of 1024 bytes or less here&gt;
---end of program---
3) The entry should be written in common C. (K&amp;R + common extensions)
4) The program must be of original work. All programs must be
in the public domain. All copyrighted programs will be rejected.
5) Entries must be received between 31-Mar-86 and 30-May-86 0:00 GMT.
Email your entries to:
decwrl!nsc!obfuscate
Entries sent by UUCP email will be confirmed starting 1-May-86.
People are encouraged to submit entries via email, however one may
mail entries the following address:
International Obfuscated C Code Contest
National Semiconductor
Attn: Landon Noll Mail Stop: 7c266
1135 Kern Ave.
Sunnyvale, CA 94086
U.S.A.</code></pre>
<p>AWARDS: Winners of each category and the best of Show will be posted
to net.announce as well as being published in the May 86 issue of the
“Micro/Systems Journal”. Winners also get to receive international
fame/flame for their efforts!</p>
<p>JUDGING: Awards will be given to the best entry in a number of
categories. The actual category list will vary depending on the types of
entries we receive. At the moment, we are considering using the
following:</p>
<pre><code> * The most obscure algorithm
* The worst abuse of the C preprocessor
* The strangest source layout
* The best small one line program
* The most useful program
* &lt;anything else we need to give recognition to a good entry&gt;
Judging will be done by myself, Larry Bassel and other local people
who are willing to help out.
We will attempt to run each of them on a Vax 785/4.2BSD system.
Don&#39;t let the lack of such a system stop you! Try to avoid operating
system/machine specific code if you do not have such a system.
Extra points will be given for programs which:
a) pass lint without complaint
b) do something quasi-interesting
c) are portable
A larger program size was selected to allow for a wider range of
program ideas. However if you don&#39;t need 1024 bytes don&#39;t use them.
Given two programs with similar techniques and similar levels of
obfuscation, we will tend to favor the more concise entry.</code></pre>
<p>POLL: We want to know what you think is the most poorly coded utility
released with 4.xBSD and/or Sys V. The top results plus the best flames
will be posted along with the contest results. To vote, please follow
the guidelines below:</p>
<pre><code>1) Include at the top of the letter:
a) Name (or anonymous), Company/School, City, State and Country.
b) Your path from a major network site, if applicable.
c) the name of the poorly coded utility
d) the name of the operating system on which it is found
e) the line: &lt;&lt;&lt;FLAME ON&gt;&gt;&gt;
f) up to 1024 bytes of flames
g) the line: &lt;&lt;&lt;FLAME OFF&gt;&gt;&gt;
2) Confine your vote to the standard set of commands. I.e., don&#39;t
flame about local commands or user contributed software.
3) Submit your votes via email to:
for 4.xBSD: decwrl!nsc!bsd_util
for Sys V: decwrl!nsc!sysV_util
or, you may send your votes by letter to the same address used by
the contest. Please place your votes on different sheets of paper.</code></pre>

Newsgroups: comp.lang.c,comp.unix.wizards Keywords:
rules,1987,obfuscate,contest</p>
<p>GOALS OF THE CONTEST:</p>
<pre><code>* To write the most Obscure/Obfuscated C program under the rules below.
* To show what should NOT be done in C programs.
* To provide a safe forum for poor C code. :-)</code></pre>
<p>RULES: 1) The source must be 1024 characters long or less. NO
EXCEPTIONS!</p>
<pre><code>2) To help us process your entries, we ask that you submit entries
in the following format: (please include the --- lines)</code></pre>
<p>—start of header items— name: org: email address: postal address:
environment: remarks: —start of entry— X &lt;place obfuscated source of
1024 characters or less here&gt; X
<add a leading X to each line to avoid problems with mailers> X
&lt;leading X’s do not count toward the source character count&gt; X
<the first X of each source line will be removed prior to compilation> X
&lt;newlines count as 1 character&gt; X &lt;assume a standard 8
character tab stop&gt; —end of entry—</p>
<pre><code>3) Regarding the header items:
* All header items except &#39;remark&#39; are optional. If you do not
wish to answer an item, indicate so by the string: ***NONE***
Any text outside of the above format will be kept confidential.
* You can remain anonymous. If the name item is: ***ANONYMOUS***
all items except the &#39;remarks&#39; item will not be relased.
* Indicate the name of your Company or School in the &#39;org&#39; item.
* The &#39;email address&#39; item asks for a network path from a major
site (such as amdahl) to your mailbox.
* If you give a &#39;postal address&#39;, please include your Country.
* Give the machine and operating system (i.e., Un*x version) on
which your program ran.
* The &#39;remarks&#39; item is not optional. Please indicate:
- how to execute or compile if something special is required
- type of input or argument needed, if applicable
- what this program does
- any other remarks you wish to make
* If you need more than one line on a header item, place
tab or space characters at the beginning of each additional line.
4) The entry should be written in a common C. (K&amp;R + common extensions)
5) The program must be of original work. All programs must be
in the public domain. All copyrighted programs will be rejected.
6) Entries must be received before 30-May-87 0:00 GMT.
Email your entries to:
...!amdahl!obfuscate
Amdahl talks to hplabs, decwrl, pyramid, seismo and cbosgd.
We will attempt to email a confirmation of receipt of contest
entries, however since email is not reliable you may not receive it.
People are encouraged to submit entries via email, however
one may mail entries the following postal address:
Landon Curt Noll
Amdahl Corp.
1250 E. Arques Ave. M/S 316
P.O. Box 3470
Sunnyvale, CA
94088-3470
U.S.A.
Write the words: &quot;International Obfuscated C Code Contest&quot; near the
bottom left corner of the envelope.
8) Contest entries sent in by post should indicate where TAB characters
are to be placed, otherwise space characters will be assumed. Each
line will be assumed to contain a newline character. The leading
&#39;X&#39; will serve to indicate where each source line starts.
9) Each person may submit up to 5 entries. Multiple entries must
be sent in separate emails or postal envelopes.
10) People are encouraged to examine winners of the previous
contests. A copy of these entries was posted to mod.sources
on or about 12-Mar-87. Contact the mod.sources moderator
if you missed that article. Keep in mind that rules change from
year to year, so some winning entries may not be valid
entries this year. Also what was unique and novel one
year can get &#39;old&#39; the next year.</code></pre>
<p>ANNOUNCEMENT OF WINNERS:</p>
<pre><code>* First announcement will be at the Summer 87 Usenix BOF.
* An announcement will be posted to mod.announce near
mid June 1987 stating to which newsgroup the winners
have been posted.
* An article containing the winning entries will be published
in a future issue of the &quot;Micro/Systems Journal&quot;.
* Winners receive international fame and flames! :-)</code></pre>
<p>JUDGING: Awards will be given to the best entry in a number of
categories. The actual category list will vary depending on the types of
entries we receive. At the moment, we are considering using the
following:</p>
<pre><code> * The best small one line program
* The most obscure algorithm
* The worst abuse of the C preprocessor (note warnings below)
* The strangest source layout
* The most useful obfuscated program
* &lt;anything else so strange that it deserves an award&gt;
Extra points will be given for programs which:
* pass lint without complaint
* do something quasi-interesting
* are portable
* are unique in their obfuscation style
* are concise
Points will be taken away for programs that:
* are very hardware or Un*x version specific
* dump core or have compiler warnings
(we won&#39;t take points away if you warn us in the remark item)
* fail to compile
* obfuscate only by overuse of #defines
(you should do this ONLY if your use is unusual)
* are similar to previous winners
* are similar to previous losers :-)
The Judging will be done by Landon Noll and Larry Bassel.
