Hi gurpreet... the word "obfuscate" means confuse/complicate in pure english.... :-) Code obfuscation means complicate ur src codes so that it confuses them who in case reverse engg ur code .... that is just one application of that ..... i mean code protection techniques involve obfuscation of code as one method .... i mean u can obfuscate AND encrypt the code so that it won't be easily underrstoood by someone else :-) some quick urls: http://www.cs.arizona.edu/~collberg/Research/Students/DouglasLow/obfuscation.html (related to java code protection) http://mini.net/tcl/728 (tcl ) some products: (see the features u'll understand) http://www.instantiations.com/jove/product/obfus1.htm http://sourceguardian.com/ > actually we have an upcoming comptt. in goa college of engg. and > there is this even which is called "dubugsy n obfuscy" where we > have to obfuscate and debug some code tha'll be gven ot us and do this > ON PAPER... BEST OF LUCK :-) If u have time just look at some cracking site/honepots for how guys from wild have used this technique to encrypt the codes/ packet transfer also so that even if the packets r notices they confuse ! regards, Ranjeet _______________________________________________ http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
