Deprecated

As a toy project, Hikari had way too many design issues that makes it irrelavant in modern binary protection.
You really shouldn't be using it anymore, instead, switch to a commercially supported implementation. If you absolutely must use Hikari, switch to a actively maintained fork like NeHyci/Hikari-LLVM15 where I occasionally show up and provide some insights / hints/ help.

I also occasionally analyze existing open-source/commericial LLVM obfuscators in a professional setup, for analysis reports that are not restricted by an NDA, you can see a stripped down version of my reports here
