Hi...

Still a newbie here..
I'm doing a study on how to avoid softwares or games we made from being hacked.

Appreciate if you would share your ideas and suggestions with me here.

Thanks.

Welcome and goodluck with your study :weedman:
I don't know how to put it, as i don't know your age BUT on short you can't !

It require to drop the prices [(so all can buy that app) and i'm sure no one want / can do that], use more resources in highly-qualified people (which demand higher salary) for "invent" stronger and stronger routines for protection or just use some already knew (and expensive) software with an touch of an genius instructions inside...BUT (again) "the need for soft" is so high and out there are more smart people which put on together (or not really together) their knowledge to break "the unbreakable", if you know what i mean :hahaha2:
IMO, it's like you want to erradicate smoking (MUCH more chances than that) or stop stealling whatever: cars, CC, INFO!

So, if you are an disguised (not disgusted) "agent" which "infiltrated" here to catch an cracker / hacker, you've had wasted your time :partyman:

You can try though to "conquer by disunite" method, as people have so different needs...It's hard though, as it require MUCH trust to catch those people...
Study, in the meantime, the FBI methods for surveillance and anual meetings with those ppl and theirs MO (modus operandi) to understand why they need to do what they do, or, if you are so in-the-problem, speak with one of them (FBI or "others") :witch:

Make it open source ;)
Rarely people want 2hack linux bcos it is developed by hacker(s) to hacker(s)..

yes, what I meant is.. what kind of protection maybe needed to avoid being cracked... :???:

I guess it's so-almost impossible, right? :egdance:

protection...hmm, let's see...
In Operation Flashpoint they use FADE. In Armed Assault, FADE and cd-key with ID (if it's wrong inserted - using keygenerators - , you are transformed in a bird rather than soldier)...And with all these, the games (and add-ons) were been cracked...
For mobile, take the Pocket Mechanic example: it has an protection which can block your PDA if the key inserted it's wrong (compared with Anton's application database) BUT is cracked all the time...
So
IMO, it's like you want to erradicate smoking or stop stealling whatever and i'm sure you get the idea, as the examples are plenty / infinite :weedman:
Happy protection (in case you wanna develop something) :partyman:
