If anyone start sniffing with strace then definitely such "protection" will fail sooner than later but I was just talking about simple counter actions that one should consider doing to keep 'hackers wannabe's away. I think that if you want to do such simple "protection", then you shall be aware of its weakness. At the same point if you agree to leave all these elementary weaknes not "hardened" (unscrabled strings in app etc), then what is this protection intended for? It can even be 'hacked' accidentally, so it's pointless to spend any time on implementation as it'd be pure waste. > As for data obfuscation, that's a great ideas, but the OP wants something he > could put together without any additional learning. XORing a few strings won't require much learning and it shall suffice -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
