Obfuscation doesn't really do anything to detect if the code was already tampered with. Some addons like KSK attempt to use CRC and hashes to secure communication, but in the long run, you're just wasting resources. The inclusion of such code is basically handing your users a way to fake your data anyway.

If you really care that much about anti-cheat, don't make it as a WoW addon. The source is by design, exposed for everyone to see whats going on and obfuscation is outright banned. Not to mention you don't have hardware access to do hash/CRC checks on your own files.
