Hi,
We have an application and use an obfuscator to make it hard to reverse
engineer it.
Nevertheless, it is possible.

What, I was thinking and somebody could tell me if it makes sense:
- encrypt all the .class files
- use a special class loader which will first connect to our server, get
the key to
decrypt the files, load a .class file in memory and decrypt it. So the
.class file will
never have to be decrypted on the disk. Except the classLoader itself
which let
somebody, reverse engineer it, and modify it to save the decrypted
file to disk.
Any idea?

Thanks

Pascal
