Hear No Evil, See No Evil: A Case Study

Abstract

You’re now almost at the end of your journey. By now you should have a sound understanding of the overall principles of how to decompile and how to make some attempts at protecting your code. Having said that, I’ve found from working with clients and colleagues that even if you understand what decompilation and obfuscation really mean, it doesn’t help you figure out what practical measures you can take to protect your code. A little knowledge can often create more questions than answers.
