我一直在思考如何保护我的C/ c++代码不被反汇编和逆向工程破坏。通常情况下,在我的代码中,我绝不会宽恕这种行为;然而,为了各种人的安全,我目前正在研究的协议决不能被检查或理解。
现在这对我来说是一个新的主题,互联网并没有真正的资源来防止逆向工程,而是描述了大量关于如何逆向工程的信息
到目前为止我想到的一些事情是:
Code injection (calling dummy functions before and after actual function calls)
Code obfustication (mangles the disassembly of the binary)
Write my own startup routines (harder for debuggers to bind to)
void startup();
int _start()
{
startup( );
exit (0)
}
void startup()
{
/* code here */
}
Runtime check for debuggers (and force exit if detected)
Function trampolines
void trampoline(void (*fnptr)(), bool ping = false)
{
if(ping)
fnptr();
else
trampoline(fnptr, true);
}
Pointless allocations and deallocations (stack changes a lot)
Pointless dummy calls and trampolines (tons of jumping in disassembly output)
Tons of casting (for obfuscated disassembly)
我的意思是,这些是我想过的一些事情,但它们都可以在适当的时间框架内由代码分析师解决。我还有别的选择吗?
传统的逆向工程技术依赖于智能代理使用反汇编程序回答关于代码的问题的能力。如果你想要更强的安全性,你必须做一些事情,可以证明阻止代理得到这样的答案。
您可以通过依赖停止程序(“程序X停止吗?”)来做到这一点,这通常是无法解决的。向程序中添加难以推理的程序,会使程序难以推理。构建这样的程序要比拆解它们容易。你也可以在程序中添加推理难度不同的代码;一个很好的候选程序是关于别名(“指针”)的推理程序。
Collberg等人有一篇论文(“制造廉价、弹性和隐形的不透明结构”)讨论了这些主题,并定义了各种“不透明”谓词,这些谓词会使对代码的推理变得非常困难:

我还没有看到Collberg的具体方法应用于产品代码,尤其是C或c++源代码。
DashO Java混淆器似乎使用了类似的想法。

安全网哨兵(原阿拉丁)。不过要注意的是——他们的API很烂,文档也很烂,但与他们的SDK工具相比,这两者都很棒。
I've used their hardware protection method (Sentinel HASP HL) for many years. It requires a proprietary USB key fob which acts as the 'license' for the software. Their SDK encrypts and obfuscates your executable & libraries, and allows you to tie different features in your application to features burned into the key. Without a USB key provided and activated by the licensor, the software can not decrypt and hence will not run. The Key even uses a customized USB communication protocol (outside my realm of knowledge, I'm not a device driver guy) to make it difficult to build a virtual key, or tamper with the communication between the runtime wrapper and key. Their SDK is not very developer friendly, and is quite painful to integrate adding protection with an automated build process (but possible).
Before we implemented the HASP HL protection, there were 7 known pirates who had stripped the dotfuscator 'protections' from the product. We added the HASP protection at the same time as a major update to the software, which performs some heavy calculation on video in real time. As best I can tell from profiling and benchmarking, the HASP HL protection only slowed the intensive calculations by about 3%. Since that software was released about 5 years ago, not one new pirate of the product has been found. The software which it protects is in high demand in it's market segment, and the client is aware of several competitors actively trying to reverse engineer (without success so far). We know they have tried to solicit help from a few groups in Russia which advertise a service to break software protection, as numerous posts on various newsgroups and forums have included the newer versions of the protected product.
最近,我们在一个较小的项目上尝试了他们的软件许可解决方案(HASP SL),如果您已经熟悉HL产品,那么这个解决方案就足够简单了。它似乎有效;目前还没有关于盗版事件的报道,但这款产品的需求要低得多。
当然,没有什么保护措施是完美的。如果有人有足够的动机,并且有大量的现金可以烧,我相信HASP提供的保护是可以规避的。
