Advanced self-modifying code
Read OriginalThis technical article delves into advanced self-modifying code (SMC) techniques used in software protection. It explains polymorphism and metamorphism, originally developed for computer viruses, as methods to prevent reverse engineering and cracking. The article provides code examples, discusses limitations of basic polymorphic engines, and outlines features of advanced engines that alter decryption algorithms and incorporate anti-debugging tricks.
