| Sumario: | Although several forms of software of software protection exist now, many software developers still face the threat of losing their possibly proprietary source codes or algorithms to their rivals. One of the more common threats is Reverse Engineering. Reverse Engineering tools can be easily found on the internet or bought from the commercial market. With this in mind, software developers are forced to practice software protection, with the level of protection being proportionate to the costs they are willing to pay.
This project report will discuss Software Obfuscation, which is one of the main techniques for preventing Reverse Engineering. In Software Obfuscation, there are various general techniques that apply to all programming languages, and a couple of specific techniques for each programming language. Several general techniques will be shown in this project report followed by specific techniques for the main targeted programming language, which is Java.
