Just to add to this discussion- in _most_ cases ANY piece of code
that is loaded into RAM can be _easily_ reversed. I think there are
like two exceptions to that!
I used to do this sort of thing on paper with colored pencils but now
you can use a tool like IDA Pro (which rocks by the way).
Objective-C code is ridiculously easy to reverse- it's almost written
out in text! One thing I notice that alot of people forget to do
(which makes my life much easier) is strip debugging symbols.
Not all folks that reverse-engineer code are hackers. :)

just wondering how easy it is for would-be hackers to get inside my
code.
how meaningful and human-readable is a reverse engineered version of
my app?
is there a particular tool a hacker would use for Mac apps?
any help much appreciated,
