Decompiling Java
| AUTHOR | Nolan, Godfrey |

| PRODUCT TYPE | Hardcover (Hardcover) |
Both Java and .NET use the idea of a "virtual machine" (VM) rather than a true executable. While very useful for some purposes, VMs make your source code and hence your intellectual property (IP) inherently less secure because the process can be reversed or "decompiled". This book is useful because you must understand how decompilation works in order to properly protect your IP. Anyone interested in protecting Java code from prying eyes will want to buy this one of a kind book as it separates fact from fiction about just how ineffective obfuscators are at protecting your corporate secrets.
