Intellectual property theft has become a major problem in the recent years. In this paper we primarily focus on software components as intellectual property. Availability of high speed internet has played an important role in distribution of illegal software. Reverse engineering techniques are used to bypass security of software components. These techniques are also used by forensics analysts and...
In this article, we present the state of the art in today's nonmalicious software defense protections. We also present an overview of the tools and techniques that attackers use to defeat current defenses. Finally, we expound on some unorthodox approaches to defending software, including tactics that advanced malware currently uses to protect itself.
This article focuses on describing state-of-the-art attacks on debuggers to prevent reverse engineering. You can use the information we present as part of your strategy to protect your software or to assist you in overcoming the anti-debugging tricks present in malicious software. Currently, there are enough anti-debugging techniques available to software engineers to sufficiently protect software...
Shareware programs are susceptible to piracy. Various reverse engineering methods used to circumvent software-based protection employed by existing shareware programs were analysed in this paper to provide insight into their weaknesses. These weaknesses include easily reverse-engineered algorithms, algorithms that compare the valid key with the entered key in plain text in memory, algorithms that...
