RE: Scary: BB Source Code Names in Compiled EXE's

No se maño, yo probaria esto:

a) Escribir los nombres de funcion en aleman.
b) Escribirlos en swajili.
c) Escribir las funciones en js/vb y emitir un eval() de ellas.
d) Usar hiew, o algun buen editor hacker para editar los nombres
directamente en el ejecutable.
e) Poner montones de funciones falsas con nombres atractivos, y las
verdaderas darles nombres que no llamen la atencion.
f) Escribir un mudulo (¿flex quizas?) que altere los nombres de funcion
por unos al azar(sin romper el codigo, claro).
g) Hacer tu codigo Open Source, es decir, si no puedes garantizar los
beneficios de hacer codigo privado, hazlo publico y te garantizaras sus
beneficios.

Yo, por rapidez, me decantaria por el editor hexadecimal, pero para un
profesional el modulo renombrador de funciones els lo mejor. Quizas se
pueda usar ademas para maquillar practicas de otros o te molestes en
hacerlo en BB y se pueda adaptar para que use el parseado para colorear la
syntaxis.

1 saludo
