.exe file protection

[Delphard]

How to protect .exe file against decompiling?
Is there an (free?!) software or component for this purpose?

 

[DelphiAaron]

decompiling will only give them the forms not the code.

but if you must there are shrinker programs around that compress the exe making it harder or impossible to decompile.

I'm waiting for the white paper entitled "Finding Employment in the Era of Occupational Irrelevancy

You're best defense is command-line build with all debug info off {$D-}

I do both:

- build with batch file, no debug info
- then shrink with upx (from the same batch file)

I made a small app that creates the batch file automatically for me.
