We find that none of the techniques provides sufficient protection when the attacker is aware of the anonymization. While we introduce an approach for removing remaining clues from the code, the main result of our work is negative: Anonymization of source code is a hard and open problem...&amp;quot; [PDF] - https://arxiv.org/pdf/2208.12553.pdf&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2208.12553/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
