The risk of not protecting your applications
As soon as you publish your application, even on official channels, you lose full control over the environment and security of your application.
An unprotected application can be affected by many security problems.
Vulnerability detection
- Without source code encryption, vulnerability analysis can be performed and bugs can be discovered, allowing the application to be exploited directly.
Damage to brand image
- An exposed, vulnerable or cracked application generates a huge distrust to your end users, damaging your brand and revenues. If your application is insecure, your users' data is also insecure.
Cracking and Reverse-engineering
- If the source code is unprotected and there are no methods to prevent tampering. So any attacker can modify the operation of the application to crack it, bypass licensing or login systems, disable security checks or other manipulations.
Intellectual Property (IP) Theft
- This is the biggest problem. After all the money and time invested in the research and development of your app, any attacker can steal or clone your whole software in a few seconds.
Reverse engineering
- Analyze its classes, methods and how the application works
- Access to important or sensitive parts of the source code
- Modify the application's functionality or injecting malware
Penetration or tampering
- Data theft and capture of communications
- Vulnerability scanning and intellectual property loss
- Circumvent security checks or execute piracy
How our Application Hardening and Shielding works
ByteHide Shield is not a simple obfuscation tool, it is a service that takes care of protecting your application from compilation to when it receives attacks in an untrusted environment.
Obfuscate your application with multi-layer protection
- Avoid reverse engineering
- Protects against intellectual property theft
- Protects against loss of revenue and damage to reputation
Secure against static and dynamic attacks with In-app protection
In-app protection combines different runtime protection methods, allowing your application to protect itself by detecting and mitigating attacks. This secures it in untrusted environments.
- Prevent your application from being tampered
- Protects against debugging, hooking and emulators
- Protects real-time in untrusted environments and detects jailbroken/rooted devices
Publish secure and robust applications, effortlessly for your developers
Your engineers don't have to be security experts: configurations are simple, documentation is complete and the ByteHide platform integrates everything in one place for easy management.
Monitor your application and receive real-time insights
This allows you to keep your security team up to date, manage security in an active and preventive way. You will be able to expand the possibilities of reacting to an attack
- Monitor the security of your application in real-time
- Receive AI-based safety and prevention reporting
- Manage untrusted environments and keep your security team up to date

Benefits of obfuscation and In-app protection with Shield
Never worry about reverse engineering again. Focus on your business and automate your software security.
Keep your intellectual property safe
- Keep your application algorithms and data (which are important to your business) secure and hidden. Therefore, prevent crackers or competitors from analyzing, decompiling and stealing them.
Protect your source of income
- Prevent attackers from cracking, exploiting or decompiling your application licensing or authentication system to gain unauthorized access that could severely damage your business.
Prevent your applications from cracking
- Compiled programming languages are easy to decompile with some free and public tools. In client-side applications, it is very easy to manipulate security checks, illegally access paid features, bypass logins or licenses, or manipulate logic (cheat). This affects the experience of your legitimate users and gives your project a bad image.
Ensure integrity and lock out competitors
- Do you know what it means if competitors, hackers or third parties can decompile .EXE, .DLL or APK files? It means that your intellectual property (IP) is at incredible risk of being stolen. As a result, they may be able to crack, clone and spread harmful copies of your program, causing damage to your customers, your business and your reputation.
Protect your applications easily
- Protect against reverse engineering
- Increase the security of your applications
- Keep your intellectual property safe and away from crackers
Avoid decompilation and reverse engineering
Hardening and shielding applications will guarantee their integrity by keeping them functionally identical. It will prevent any attacker from cracking or reverse engineering your application and ensure that they cannot access the source code by decompiling it.
- Prevent your applications from cracking
- Mantain the security of your application always up to date
- Protect your source of income from your competitors and hackers

Business impact of code security automation with Shield
With Shield, the security and integrity of your code can be automated. Security settings and techniques are inherited between versions of your application ensuring that your software is always protected.
Easy implementation, with no code required.
- Improving the security of your software and eliminating vulnerabilities reduces the risk of suffering an attack, leaking sensitive information of your users or your company's intellectual property. This greatly reduces the risk of your company suffering a reputational problem.
- By automating security and centralizing it in the ByteHide platform you allow your developers to focus on development and not on security. Accomplishing tasks faster and maintaining the scalability of your team.
- Reduces infrastructure costs associated with code protection, human costs for configuration and management, and costs associated with cybersecurity breaches that can save up to 95%.
- Guarantees data security and privacy to your end users, which increases trust in your company and gets more customers to use your products.

Using ByteHide Shield to obfuscate applications in their compilation
Frequently asked questions about obfuscation and applications protection
- The term obfuscation is commonly used in cybersecurity to refer to making something difficult to read or understand. In the programming world, when the source code of an application is obfuscated it means that it is "modified" using renaming techniques and cryptographic algorithms to encrypt and harden. This obfuscation process is done to prevent the application from being reverse engineered and decompiled to avoid a wide variety of attacks.
- Just as code once programmed becomes an application, that application can be reversed to get the source code of it. If the source code of this application is accessed without protection, shielding or obfuscation, its operation can be analyzed. This opens up many possibilities for attacks, both cracking and reverse engineering.
If an attacker accesses the source code of your application without obfuscation, he can actually completely modify its operation. In addition, it can steal intellectual property (IP) and cause a very bad image for a business or company, not to mention that there may be sensitive data (such as customer data, passwords or unencrypted database connections) that the attacker or competitor can easily access. - There are actually many ways to obfuscate an application, from encrypting sensitive parts of the code, to replacing classes or variable names, to anti debugging or anti tampering techniques. All this is only useful if the person in charge of performing the obfuscation has advanced knowledge in logarithmic mathematics, encryption and cryptography. If not, anyone with a minimum knowledge in reverse engineering could reverse all the protections and access the source code. In that case the favorite and most powerful option is to use an obfuscator.
- An obfuscator is a tool that analyzes your application, detects sensitive parts and through different obfuscation techniques increases the security of an application. The obfuscator converts the source code into code that is practically impossible to read by a human, but at the same time maintains its functionality at 100%. The recommendation we always make is the ByteHide Shield obfuscator because it offers military-grade encryption with super-simple preconfigurations. Literally anyone could protect their application with ByteHide Shield in 3 clicks!
