Hide Your Code
So you've just finished your software masterpiece, a beautiful pile of code
that could be the next VisiCalc. So what's stopping all the creeps on the Internet
from exposing the source code and giving it to every code monkey from Boston
to Bismark?
Stealing your intellectual property is one thing. Even worse, hackers can use
the source to attack your product!
If you develop with Visual Studio, more help is in the way. There is an upgraded
free tool from PreEmptive Solutions -- long known for its obfuscation technology
-- that can hide your code, and it will be bundled with the next round of Visual
Studio. The new rev is more tightly integrated with VS than it has been in the
past.
