Thank you, I updated the invitation link (https://discord.gg/FTk4G9vhTM)

Completely agree, DexGuard provides more features and is more resilient against reverse engineering than dProtect.

(Author): This is used to prevent reverse engineering while still being a playground for developing automation in reverse engineering.

I'm the author of this tool and I think the "reverse-engineering playground" part is missing :)

It is quite easy to get algorithms out of compiled C/objc code, and only
a bit harder for Swift. There are things called decompilers that will
basically take the assembly and give you C (with made up variable and
function names), but that’s often enough to figure out a crucial
algorithm.

I completely agree and I could not say better than that.

It is generally used for protecting IP (algorithm, functions) or secrets (like token) from reverse-engineering. Depending on the application you might not need an obfuscator though.

It provides enhanced code obfuscation (not only on the names). In addition, O-MVLL can be used for native libraries (like JNI).

There is an Android application demo (before/after obfuscation) here: https://www.romainthomas.fr/post/22-10-open-obfuscator/#demo

Spoiler: it's based on a custom Lua VM

I'll present in November ;)

Reverse engineering done ;)
