bingo :))
for those interested, i have decided to write the paper on cracking
and the issues you need to consider about protection.. i dont know
if it will be accepted to PalmSource 2000 - due to the implications
it might have for existing software, but essentially i will be
documenting the manner in which they do the cracking, and outline
various techniques to make their job harder..
i have spent a good 6 months playing around with protection, and
it is getting somewhere.. from wasting 2 mins of their time.. it
is becoming a few hours.. :))
it has not taken me long to add protection to my software, you just
need to understand how they do it. you will be surprised at how many
people just give up if it takes too much effort :P
cheers.
