The ease at which criminals can reverse engineer software makes for lucrative transgressions with national security implications, prompting government-backed researchers to seek innovations to shore ...

Researchers say their new software obfuscation scheme is the first time this technique has been successfully accomplished where the underlying piece of software, such as a patch, could not be reverse ...

Researchers with a DARPA-led team are looking into new ways to combat reverse engineering by using obfuscation to tidy up shoddy commercial and government security. Researchers with a DARPA-led team ...

Attackers are increasingly changing up the techniques used to obfuscate what their software is doing, with one group hiding parts of their code using a variety of techniques swapped out every 37 days ...

If you’re in the business of creating original software and hope to preserve its integrity against reverse-engineering hacks or if you’re Microsoft worried about hackers cracking the code behind a ...

Nope, however the general premise that obfuscation of code makes your software 'more secure' is bunk. If someone has a copy of your software and wants to hack it, they will. obfuscated or not.

Given enough computer power, desire, brains and some luck, the security of most systems can be broken. But there are cryptographic and algorithmic security techniques, ideas and concepts out there ...

A research that analyzed over 10,000 samples of diverse malicious software written in JavaScript concluded that roughly 26% of it is obfuscated to evade detection and analysis. Obfuscation is when ...
