I just used a Hex editor and in about 10 seconds i got the source code. How can i protect my self form the decompiler?I looked on Google but all i found are third party application. What do you use to protect your software?
First, I'd like to know, in MySQL, when is it more secure and appropriate to close the connection and also why we have to close the connection. The software protection also came to my attention. Is it possible to protect a .exe from being decompiled with any .net decompiler?
I'm using visual studio 2005. I finished my application. Now I want to publish it. How can I protect that application to be shure that someone else could not use it without serial code which would I provide. For example I give the installation to someone else and I give him a serial. He enter that and he can use it forever. But how can I be shure that that person would not give that installation and serial to the third person.
I've a winforms application that is using SQLite database. There is no encryption on the database (data has to be shared with other user). It is a stand alone application with a stand alone local database.
The difficulty I'm encountering is when people go to bring all the data together.The databases are attached, data imported, but records are differentiated by a database GUID.At any rate I am desiring to have a database selection screen that is protected by a password to prevent users mistakenly switching databases (and some level of protection against malicious use).
Thinking it's probably not a particularly good idea to store the password in an unecrypted database.Security is not a large issue as this is only distributed to users that need the software.
What would be the best method to have the user type a password when they attempt to access the database selection screen? ShowDialog? Pop open a new child form with a password TextBox, then on validation (via button?) close the password form and open the protected form?I see a fair bit about protecting a whole application, but not so much about a specific form.
I have created an exe file. i am now worried whether my exe file will be decompiled using some vb.net decompilers.(sample coding) for some exe file named "hello.exe" to prevent the hackers from decompiling it. how to restrict the use of decompiler.i now want to make my code, invisible (or) not traceable (or) not understandable. even if it is decompiled.Also i came to know that , it is also possible to remove the obfuscation from the exe file.. so that the actual goal to trace the code is possible...
Are there any free .net decompiler/disassemblers? I am using a demo of Dis# but it's not showing full code, I need to make sure my obfuscator works. Link to the download would be nice.
Here is a link to a FREE Beta version of a .Net decompiler.Some of you may find this useful? >>[URL}..If you do try it within the next 5 or so hours while I sleep, you may want to leave feedback of your experience(s) here in this thread.I have merely posted the above link in case any of you want to try a decompiler.
Someone know how to make or if it possible to make a .swf file decompiler in vb.net? the actionscript that the program decompilated paste it into a textbox1.
I've developed a product, I now want to protect it from reverse engineering and decompilation, can anyone share some info about this..?I'm looking for the BEST product out there, for doing this, I want to make it a pain to decompile or reverse engineer my product =)Does anyone know of any? or any other products that do other things that can help protect it, for example, I once found a program which converts ALL your .NET exe, into a C++ exe file, so it's not .NET code anymore, fully machine code or something like that (can't find it anymore though).
I thought posting here would be a good idea, since, a lot of you are very experienced with developing products, and perhaps some of you have used obfuscator's to protect them.
lately, ive had a lot of free time and have been trying to password protect my flash drive in VB 2008. and ive figured out almost everything i want with it, but ive come to a bit of a roadblock. as of right now, ive got 2 accounts, but thats all ive done so far, because every account has like 3 if statements, and it would start to accumulate a bit of i made anymore. so, ive been looking into using a database, and having it retrieve the password and username from there. ive searched for hours, and have found a lot of little bits and pieces of code, but nothing that would work for my situation. Will somebody tell me how i would:
1: make sure that the password and username match in the database when i click the confirm button 2: add a new username and password to a database when they want to make their own account 3: save changes to the database when i log out and move to another computer
also, is there a simple way to log the date, time, IP address, and Username, put it in a text file, and email it to me? i would also like to know how to open a flash drive using its name, and not its letter, cause its a different drive letter on different computers.
Recently I've started experimenting with Visual Basic 2008, and just out of curiosity am trying to password protect my flash drives. (At the school I go to, it takes a couple seconds for things to disappear). So, I've got it to the point where I can have multiple "accounts" with their own passwords, ive got a lost password button, and a bunch of other stuff. But, anybody can just click out of it and go into the folder themselves, so I've been looking for a way to lock the focus on my password box. I've looked for hours and have found a lot of things that keep the focus on like a second form, so you cant go back to the first one, but I was still able to launch applications and things because the desktop was still active. I still haven't found one that keeps the focus locked on the first form and nothing else.
Is there a way to protect the text from selecting (CRTL+A) and Copying? I've disabled the context menu. But is there other way without javascript within the page I'm viewing?I know it isn't possible to hide something that is shown on the screen, but I need fool protection (I'm not talking about PrintScreen and OCR)
I am making this game where you have to protect objects from the enemy trying to capture them. I have a loop where a number is randomized from 1 to the current level the person is on. If that number is 50 then a new enemy is created and sent out to get an object. But my problem is if the level is getting higher and higher then the game will get easier and easier. I want it to get harder and harder.
how do I protect my source code from cracker to decompile? I know there is no foolproof way to do that but i know it can make it harder for cracker to crack. Is there any free & easy tools that allows me to encrypt my codes?
I like to have a Licensing key generator (generate keys from CPU or BIOS) to protect my application and a similar code in my application to confirm the Licensing key.Is there any solution for VS 2010?[url]...
After generating a file, I don't want to allow anyone to open it. How do I protect it, by using a password? Is there any better way? How do I do it programmatically?
I'm going to build a large project and want to create several libraries (DLL) for it. I don't want to merge them all in one EXE, but want to use seperate DLL files.I don't want those DLL's to be used by others, so these DLL's should be protected so that they can only be used in my own project.I was thinking of using some sort of password in the New() proc, but that doesn't work for shared classes.
Other solution I was thinking of: is it possible to check if the calling assembly has the same strong name as the DLL?These solutions are just one of my ideas. I don't know if those will work and am not saying that one of them is the way to go.What is the best approach to accomplish this?
I am trying to protect a document. I made a macro but it gives me an error in VB.net. I just need to find out how to change one bit to get it working in VB.net.
I would like a program where the process is not another program or task management can be stopped. An anti-malware program, how can you protect a process?
I am wondering if anyone here knows of a method to protect a dll from unregistered usage. I have a few useful dlls that I am thinking about putting online for sale but I want to protect them so that they can not be used by a developer without paying the proper fees.
i have created a dll library and now i want to secure it....and distribute it to other...i want to provide a trial so that the user can see what it can do....how can i protect it...
i developed a project using VB.Net 2005 and sql server 2005 standard edition at back end. now its complete and have to deliver to company now. but i am afraid that the company may reproduce a new copy of this software from the original and may sell to any other company or in open market. I want to implement some mechanism on my project for its security, which enables it to not to work on other computers or some similar type security.
