SuperTaz Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 http://blog.norsecorp.com/2015/02/12/hares-tool-hampers-the-reverse-engineering-of-code/ http://www.wired.com/2015/02/crypto-trick-makes-software-nearly-impossible-reverse-engineer At the SyScan conference next month in Singapore, security researcher Jacob Torrey plans to present a new scheme he calls Hardened Anti-Reverse Engineering System, or HARES. Torrey’s method encrypts software code such that it’s only decrypted by the computer’s processor at the last possible moment before the code is executed. This prevents reverse engineering tools from reading the decrypted code as it’s being run. The result is tough-to-crack protection from any hacker who would pirate the software, suss out security flaws that could compromise users, and even in some cases understand its basic functions. “This makes an application completely opaque,” says Torrey, who works as a researcher for the New York State-based security firm Assured Information Security. “It protects software algorithms from reverse engineering, and it prevents software from being mined for vulnerabilities that can be turned into exploits.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

propbndr Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 It could be used for virus's and malware too. So much for antivirus software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
