Re: Encryption doesn't rely on obfuscation So, with so much comments, the issue doesn't seems to be an issue to most of the people. But, for me, it is still very much important. No offence, we might be thinking differently and dealing with different things. Originally Posted by PlausiblyDamp If decompilation is such a major problem then .Net is probably not the most suitable tool and should have been discounted early in the application design phase. Microsoft didn't mentioned this to me while in the introduction of this product in the launching hall. And I was not even know about this when i purchase it. And now, my whole application is developed. Ok, forget it.... my fault anyway for trusting microsoft so much...

Still you don't get my point. I am just trying to tell you that it is very DANGEROUS. Not just for this encryption case. understand? DANGEROUS???? :P

Just an idea, One programmer write an application for a bank. and the very first screen is for login. And on this login page, it has actually encrypt the username and password into different type of alien language before send over the network. I am a hacker. And i wanna crack this system. What i have to do is try to have a copy of this application, maybe just the exe file. I could obtain it from my friend/s who is working in the bank. and i decompile it. With the so called high technology like 128bit encryption and bla bla bla... i can break it with a decompiler on the exe file. And the usage of those encryption end up lose battle on this game easily. With just few hundred dollar, i can now get the encryption algorithm.. :P no matter how good is an obfuscator, i still able to see the pattern of the program. try renaming one by one on the methods and variable. I can crack it. This is actually a very serious issue. We are not aware of it because we still not yet facing the problem/s. And if microsoft don't do any enhancement on this, sure i can tell... one day, paper headline will be something like, "Country A being bom by Osama, with the usage of obfuscator in cracking the nuclear application, they obtain the president password by purchasing a thousand dollar obfuscator from internet". then only u will know the affect.

This is what I meant. We should do protection on the beginning part (means coding part). Not on the distribution part. So I think, obfuscator is my only choice. And I really hate this. St***d Microsoft F**k*r.

I think Microsoft really stupid in allowing their high-end .net language to be decompile-able. What a joke? I had secure my VB6 application from decompiled in the olden day but, now in this new age, with this modern technology, my application is decompiled by my competitor. The source code is not a problem, but, the logic I had been written all this while. They just decompile and with just the first few classes, they got the logic on how do I communicate with my Dongle, how do I calculate my Activation code. What the f**k. seems few thread in extreme forums. Doesn't seem to have a real good solution/cure for this issue. Kinda fed up with this product now. I am wondering why they didn't solve this before they launch their so called new .NET technology. This is really their fault in making our application so unsafe from those lovely hackers....

Thanks, it works... I really appreciate... :P But, I am now thinking, in which event should be overrides.. cause once mouse_over fire, the cross gone..

I would like to draw a Cross sign on the top of button. The button.BackgroundImage is already set to a picture, and I would like to draw the big X on the top of the button instead of button.Enabled=False. any comments? Thanks in advance. button cross.bmp

I am thinking on writing a small program to control the WLAN connections in PocketPC. the purpose of doing this is: I want to limit the Pocket PC from searching networks that are not neccesary. the problem I am facing now is: from time to time, the pocket pc connects to the nearby networks and it interrupts the operations of my software application. do you have any recommendation on how can I achieve this? Any dlls or api to be recommended? One beer for one reply :P

First of all, thanks for penfold69 for guiding me thru the right way. I had got it done pretty well. For marble_eater, I am doing POS system, and my POS system able to integrated with many other sub system. Such as Customer Self-Ordering System, Kiosk Ordering System, Pocket PC Ordering system, Kitchen Reminder System, Inventory Tracking system and all these systems are run under windows, probably XP and maybe Vista(not yet tested). Since there will are so many computers involved in my applications, my thinking and also my clients thinking, we want to limit the usage of the comptuers are we want to lower down the percentage of virus infection. Becauase when computers are being exposed to Internet, the chances to get infected are very high. As to solve this problem, me and most of my clients do figure out that limitation of the computers usage could solve this problem very well. I understand that limit the usage of computer is a waste for computers. But, this is actually to reduce the supportive works. Less problems means less works and higher quality of our products. Anyhow, I had designed my application as when my application is being close, it will ask for authetication. If authetication is approved, the computer will proceed with normal desktop operation, means I call up Explorer.exe. So, this still a good for support persons and admin staff. I had been quite a while away from Xtreme, nice to see such response in my thread. Thanks dudes.... Marble Eater, are you the one from Texas?

mskeel, for certain reasons like ATM machine. what you want the users to do other than just doing transactions? you want the users to suft net using your ATM machine?

Thanks penfold69. this is an easy solution. I will test it out.

I am doing an application, where i want to load only my software and restrict my users to use other programs. Just my application. In the other word, the operating system will just support my application.

not a bad idea. I think this is achievable.. Any other ideas?

I wanna avoid user from using computer for other purpose except my program. and when my program is closed, i want the windows to shut down as well. the locking means: lock ALT+CTRL+DEL, ALT+F4, Start Menu, and Taskbar. Please help.. thanks
