Hello,



More of my philosophy about copyrights and about patents and about
reverse engineering and more..

I am a white arab from Morocco, and i think i am smart since i have also invented many scalable algorithms and algorithms..


I am really smart, and i will talk more about reverse engineering, so i think that the creative ways to break disassemblers or debuggers or by using source code Obfuscation are not so efficient against reverse engineering, so i will give you my smart way
of doing it, first as i have just told you, that you have to protect your value-added of your code that you want to sell by for example using more difficult or difficult algorithms in a smart way that are more difficult or difficult to understand with
assembler code from machine code, and after that you have to use copyright in a smart way, for example i will use like the following service from a company in Canada that provides a copyright filled and certified by a public notary that is valid for 172
countries, you can read about it here:

http://en.scopyright.ca/

But you have to be smart, since the "patent" that protect algorithm is not valid in so many countries such as India etc., so the best way is to use a copyright as i am doing it, so that this kind of copyright allows you to fill a lawsuit against binary
code that is stolen from you by asking the one that has stolen from you to show his source code in
a legal lawsuit.

Read my previous thoughts:

I think i am really smart, and i think that the problem with reverse engineering of binary software programs or dynamic or shared libraries is that even if you use artificial intelligence or sophisticated tools of reverse engineering, the main hard
problem for reverse engineering is how to understand the "meaning" of the algorithm, since if the algorithms is difficult , it can be so difficult to understand it with
assembler code, this is the main big weakness of reverse engineering, but of course with reverse engineering you can obtain the assembler from the machine code, so you can then crack the binary code since it is
much less difficult than understanding a difficult algorithm , and after that you can give the binary code that is cracked, but with this kind of way of doing you have to be aware that the cracked binary code can contain a virus, this is why a "
trusthworthy" relationship between a software developer or developers and the customers is so important. And it is my way of doing that is creating a trusthworthy relationship
with my customers and with you here in those newsgroups forums and such.

And read my following previous thoughts:

More of my philosophy about reverse engineering..

Simply pulling a piece of software through a decompiler does not directly yield easily readable code for several reasons.

First of all, names of variables and functions are not kept through the compilation process, so the decompiler will assign generic names. It is much harder to read code that looks like "f8s6ex2(i37zc, sk1eo)" than it is to read "CalculatePrice(articleId,
amount)".

Secondly, a compiler has a variety of optimization tricks that it will use during compilation to make the code more efficient. A decompiler will return this "optimized" code, which will look a lot less readable than the original.

Just compiling the Delphi mode of freepascal source code with optimizations (-O2 and up) and stripping all debug and profile information, and apply smartlinking, will make it almost
un-decompilable. Not only FPC, but also Delphi.

The level of software reverse complexity is different according to different program languages. generally speaking, compiled language reverse engineering is more difficult than interpreted language. in compiled languages, I think that C++ or the Delphi
mode of Freepascal reverse engineering is the most difficult job. why? because it is very hard to transform assembly language into high level language(C++) or to Delphi mode of freepascal as i am also explaining above.

So in reverse engineering there is almost no way to re-create the Delphi mode of freepascal or Delphi source code from the binary.


Thank you,
