Decompilers

[CoolAmir]

Is this true? If a piece of code is not obfuscated, it can easily be decompiled using one of the free decompilers out there. Thanx for any help guys :->

[Dan Neely]

Yes. It probably doesn't matter much either way though. If someone wants to crack your app they will. Just look at all the megabucks game companies spend on protection and how quickly keygens and nocd patches come out aftwards (days).

Right ... i don't rule one of those big companies to attract hardcore crackers :) Just want to know how easy it is for a novice programmer who is only able to download a decompiler!

Very easy: just download reflector, and anyone can decompile a .Net assembly. While i was learning to program i often looked in the core .Net System.BlaBlaBla assemblies to see how things were done. Helped me a lot. :)
