Hello,


More of my philosophy about Layer 7 DDoS attacks that are
the “the new drug” and more of my thoughts..

I am a white arab from Morocco, and i think i am smart since i have also invented many scalable algorithms and algorithms..


I will say that according to Arbor Networks, 18% of all DDoS attacks
seen in USA in 2015 were application-layer attacks or so-called Layer 7 attacks. Cloud and security solution provider F5 calls Layer 7 DDoS
attacks “the new drug”, indicating that they are becoming both more
common, more sophisticated and more threatening. So i think that Amazon
AWS Shield Standard service that protects against Layer 3 and 4 DDoS
attacks doesn't cost you anything, so you have to use Amazon AWS Shield Advanced service to protect yourself from Layer 7 DDoS attacks, and you
can read how much is the cost of AWS Shield Advanced here in Amazon:

https://aws.amazon.com/shield/pricing/

So i think that Mid-size companies in USA can pay for AWS Shield
Advanced, and a Mid-size company is defined in USA as one with average
annual revenue – not profit, but revenue – of between $10 million and $1 billion. As of 2018, the center estimated that about 200,000 U.S.
companies met that definition, making them mid-size companies.

More of my philosophy about the weakness of reverse engineering and more
of my thoughts..

I think i am really smart, and i say that the weakness of reverse
engineering the code, is that when you crack a program you are
guided by previous known information about how to crack a program that
helps you to crack the program, but understanding the meaning of the
program that is obfuscated by VMProtect is a much more difficult
process, this is the way to go for me.

More of my philosophy about the virtual machines of VMProtect and the
like and more of my thoughts..

I think i am really smart, and here is the very important thing that
i have just said yesterday:

"But i think that one of the best protection against reverse engineering
the code is also using virtual machines, but this way of doing has a
weakness, since when a sample is protected with a VM, the only way to
reverse engineer the code itself is to start with understanding the VM,
but from what the experts know, a lot of VMs have two things in common:

They are not complex (sometimes the bytecode instructions themselves are
just decoded into x86 instructions - usually some VM instructions as
well), and they are usually quite obfuscated, so you will need to
reverse engineer the VM and understand how it is decoding bytecode
instructions - and what each VM instruction does, and then you can use
that knowledge to transform bytecode back into its original form - at
which point you can analyze it in IDA Pro etc.. Usually, the not so
difficult part for the experts in reverse engineering the code is
understanding the VM despite obfuscation."


So then even if the VMProtect uses many virtual machines for different
parts of the program, the weakness is that the virtual machine of
VMProtect is not complex, so it is why it becomes easy for reverse
engineering experts to "crack" it, so it is why the software company
called Ubisoft has only managed to protect Assassin’s Creed Origins from pirates for a month using also the best tool that is VMProtect, read it
here:

https://www.dsogaming.com/news/ubisoft-managed-protect-assassins-creed-origins-pirates-entire-month/

But the advantage of VMProtect is that it obfuscates the binary code
of your program, so since the binary code of your program can be much
more difficult to understand than the obfuscated virtual machine , then
it becomes much more difficult for reverse engineers experts to
understand the meaning of the program code, and it is the way to go for me.

Read my previous thoughts:

More of my precision about VMProtect and about reverse engineering..

I think i am smart, an i think that experts in reverse engineering the
code can crack your program even if you protect it with VMProtect, since
the Virtual machine like the virtual machine of VMProtect are in general
not so complex, but the experts in reverse engineering will find it
difficult to understand the difficult algorithms of your program, so i
think it is the way to go for me, and since reverse engineers experts
can give the binary code that is cracked, but with this kind of way of
doing you have to be aware that the cracked binary code can contain a
virus, this is why a "trusthworthy" relationship between a software
developer or developers and the customers is so important. And it is my
way of doing that is creating a trusthworthy relationship with my
customers and with you here in those newsgroups forums and such.

More of my philosophy about VMProtect and about obfuscation
and more of my thoughts..

I think i am smart, and i have just downloaded the trial version
of VMProtect that is the best tool to prevent reverse engineering of
your program, and i think that it is a good tool, and i have
just noticed that it also obfuscates not only the virtual machines,
but it also obfuscates the code, and as a proof of it, you can notice it
by reading the following web page on the VMProtect website:

https://vmpsoft.com/support/user-manual/introduction/glossary/

So notice that it is saying in the above web page that VMProtect also
does the following:

"Obfuscation of Java / .NET applications is performed through
transforming the bytecode processed by the virtual machine. Obfuscation
of compiled programs relies on modifying machine language codes: the
obfuscator adds various “garbage” commands, “dead code”, random jumps."

So i advise you to buy this good product that we call VMProtect from here:

https://vmpsoft.com/


So i will buy VMProtect and i will also use like the following service
from a company in Canada that provides a copyright filled and certified
by a public notary that is valid for 172 countries, you can read about
it here:

http://en.scopyright.ca/

But you have to be smart, since the "patent" that protects an algorithm
is not valid in so many countries such as India etc., so the best way is
to use a copyright as i am doing it, so that this kind of copyright
allows you to fill a lawsuit against binary code that is stolen from you
by asking the one that has stolen from you to show his source code in
a legal lawsuit.


Thank you,
