secureSWF v3.6

Posted on July 6, 2011 by admin

Another free minor version update that rocks with new novel features. secureSWF v3.6 brings for the first time the following:

  • In-code secureSWF configurations.

While coding, annotate your classes, methods, and fields with metadata tags and secureSWF will pick it up! You can set renaming values, control flow intensity, or dynamic code wrapping settings in your source code, and they’ll be secureSWF’s default values. Check the details.

 

  • Flash CS5.5 & Flash Builder 4.5 fully supported.

New SWF 11 format. We got it! The new release brings official support of Flash Professional CS5.5, Flash Builder 4.5, and Flex SDK 4.5.

  • Protect AIR for Android APK files.

All within secureSWF, add APK files built with AIR SDK the same way you’d add AIR files.

  • Command-line and Ant enhancements.

Store secureSWF output in a log file, easily register secureSWF using a command-line switch, and a few other tweaks that we hope will make someone’s life a tiny bit easier.

secureSWF v3.6 is available today. Download your copy and enjoy the new features:

Announcing secureSWF v3.5

Posted on May 27, 2010 by admin

Thanks to your continuous feedback, we have no shortage of new features to add to secureSWF. Today, we are thrilled to present secureSWF v3.5. As all minor point releases, this is a free upgrade to existing licensees.

The new release builds on 22 months of secureSWF v3 updates (we can’t believe it has been that long) and adds for the first time the following new features:

Integration with Powerflasher FDT

FDTWouldn’t it be great to run secureSWF inside the most advanced Flash development platform? You will find a 5th download option when you download secureSWF v3.5; an FDT plugin! Copy the file into FDT plugins folder and a new secureSWF button will appear in FDT toolbar. That’s all what it takes to start running secureSWF within FDT.

Kindisoft and Powerflasher are also announcing today a new partnership to empower you to make the best out of the Flash platform. secureSWF v3.5 is just a beginning of a much closer integration along the way. We’ll be working closely with the FDT team to bring you the ability to declare obfuscation settings within your code, debug obfuscated files, export a complete auto build script with a click of a button, and much more.

Remove Debugging Information

Keeping debugging information in released Flash applications can be useful for error reporting because source code line numbers and files names where an exception has been thrown can be found in the call stack. Unfortunately, this information is also available to attackers trying to reverse-engineer your code and it also costs a lot of file size.

New options in secureSWF v3.5 will enable you to remove all debug information that you will no longer need outside a debugger, but will keep the source code line numbers. Error messages will show the obfuscated call stack trace (which you can de-obfuscate using the mapping table) with the line numbers.

Local Variables Renaming for ActionScript 3

Variables declared within the function scope in ActionScript 3 are usually compiled as registers without their specified names. But when they are not, for a number of reasons, the identifiers names are passed along the compiled code giving decompilers the ability to regenerate a very closer version on the original source code. With secureSWF v3.5, you can enable the ability to rename local variables in the few cases were they are still in the compiled code.

Control Over Randomization

Randomization is one of the most important protection mechanism for secureSWF. Proper randomization what makes it impossible to create another tool to reverse secureSWF protection. The downside is that a completely different SWF file will be generated every time you run secureSWF, which might not be favorable for testing or verification.

To solve the dilemma, we added a new checkbox in the “Protection Options” tab labeled “Randomize Results” checked by default. When unchecked, secureSWF will generate exactly the same protected SWF file. This will guarantee a consistent output for the identical files and identical configurations.

Detailed File Save Options

Ok. We get it. You want to specify a new name for each file and you want that saved in the project configuration file. secureSWF v3.5 will save the selected output option and adds a new save option that enables you to specify the new name for each file if you want to.

Official support for Adobe Flash CS5

Flash CS5With secureSWF v3.5 we officially support Adobe Flash CS5. You can now switch to CS5 with confidence that you can still rely on us to protect your work.

Want to know what others think of secureSWF, check the following very detailed reviews done recently:

Please download the new version of secureSWF and let us know what you think. We’d love to hear from you.

New Release: secureSWF v3.4 100% Goodness

Posted on October 27, 2009 by admin

Your feedback has paid off, as we are proud to announce the availability of our new release of secureSWF. Like all point releases, the upgrade is free for all existing licensees!

secureSWF v3.4 Features:

  • Super Compression

You’ve asked and we have delivered! secureSWF can now reduce your SWF file size. In our labs, we’ve seen Flash SWF file sizes drop by 30%. This new feature can reduce the file size up to 10% by itself!

Unlike other obfuscators that just bloat the size of your SWF files, secureSWF can actually reduce your file size when using identifiers renaming, size optimization, and this new amazing feature.

This feature is available today and it’s free for all secureSWF users!

  • Complete AIR and SWC Files Support

secureSWF is proud to be the only protection and obfuscation product on the market fully supporting AIR and SWC files. What does that mean?

It means you can directly protect your whole AIR application from within secureSWF.  Say goodbye to the manual process of protecting each embedded SWF file and then fumbling to properly package the AIR application. secureSWF will automatically handle packaging and protecting your AIR application.

It also means you can now use all secureSWF’s features for SWC and AIR files too!

  • Uber-Detailed Configuration Rules

Previous versions of secureSWF enabled you to specify how your code will be obfuscated down to a single function or identifier. This is powerful, but we’ve heard from users that pinpointing individual functions and identifiers is very time consuming. Because of this, we’ve added the Rules tab.

Now, you can just tell secureSWF exactly what to do with all the code in an entire package, or a single class. Just write in the pattern and check the options you want to override. More details can be found here.

secureSWF in the Wild!

We recently found two worthy articles about Flash ActionScript theft, check them out:

secureSWF Now Supports Alchemy

Posted on July 17, 2009 by admin

Now that there are a number of Alchemy projects out there, and some people are starting to use SWC libraries created using Alchemy, we’re happy to announce that secureSWF now supports Alchemy. It’s not that projects created using Alchemy need any obfuscation, Alchemy doesn’t leave much for an obfuscator to do, but Flash projects utilizing libraries created using Alchemy, such as JPEGEncoder, still do. And now you can obfuscate and protect such projects normally with secureSWF.

Besides that, we made the Advanced Code Transformation Configuration tool also available in secureSWF Standard edition due to the many requests we’ve received. And as always, the new build brings a number of bug fixes and enhancements based on the feedback that you are continuously lending us.

secureSWF v3.3: Exciting New Features

Posted on June 5, 2009 by admin

We are very excited to announce the official release of secureSWF v3.3! The new version went through an intensive series of refactoring that enabled us to fix long standing issues.  More exciting than that, we also added new features that have been planned for a while.

New Features

secureSWF v3.3 includes the following new features:

Advanced Code Transformation Selection

Is all code created equal? We do not think so. Some parts of your code are definitely worth the overhead Control Flow Obfuscation adds and the file size increase Dynamic Code Wrapping does. But you are probably happy leaving other parts of your code less protected for the sake of better performance or smaller file size. Now with this new feature, which opens up by clicking the “Advanced” button in Protection Options tab, you can override the code transformation settings for each package, class, and even function and get surgical control over your obfuscation and protection.

Advanced Code Transformation Selection

Exclude 3rd-Party SWC Code

When using a third-party SWC file in your Flash project, there is a chance that it is already obfuscated. If so, the resulting SWF file will contain obfuscated code blocks that will prevent secureSWF from successfully parsing and analyzing your SWF file. To solve this issue, you can now add the SWC files that you have been using in secureSWF which will allow secureSWF to properly skip over those pre-obfuscated blocks of code.

SWC

Enhanced Control Flow Obfuscation

We’ve enhanced our Control Flow Obfuscation algorithm making it more random and much harder to trace. You will no longer see stuff as if(false) or if(true) in your obfuscated code. Instead, we are using your own variables and parameters to evaluate our branching statements. Don’t worry, this change does not affect the performance and the file size increase is still negligible.

PDF Reports

secureSWF can now generate a neat and shiny PDF report that will detail all the changes done to your code!

Easier Classes Navigation

We’ve separated Classes from Frame Labels names in ActionScript 3 projects for good. You can now browse your code without the frame label noise!  If you need them, all frame labels can still be found in nice table next to the classes.

Enhanced CLI and Ant Script Integration:

We want you to be able to do everything secureSWF can do using either a command-line interface or an Ant script.  We are working to make that happen. This version includes many enhancements and additions to the CLI interface and Ant support.

Enhanced Performance: Better Memory Usage

You will notice that it now take less time for secureSWF to process your code and, more importantly, secureSWF will consume less memory.   Stay tuned for further enhancements in the next releases.

secureSWF v3.3 beta

Posted on May 6, 2009 by admin

Update : secureSWF v3.3 has been officially released.

We are very excited that v3.3 is almost ready. Today, we have finally been able to put together a build that we can share with you. v3.3 went through an intensive series of refactoring that enabled us to fix long standing issues as what @bunnyhero kindly reported and add new features that we’ve been excited about for a while.

While v3.3 is a minor release, it adds new features and enhancements that qualifies for a major release for most software vendors. The new version introduces the following:

Advanced Code Transformation Selection

Is all code created equal? We do not think so. Some parts of your code are definitely worth the overhead Control Flow Obfuscation adds and the file size increase Dynamic Code Wrapping does. But  you are probably happy leaving other parts of your code less protected for the sake of better performance or smaller file size. Now with this new feature, which opens up by clicking the “Advanced” button in Protection Options tab, you can override the code transformation settings for each function.

But the most useful thing about this is overriding the settings for code that breaks after obfuscation. For example, if you get an unbalanced stack verification error after obfuscating a file, you no longer have to turn off Control Flow Obfuscation for the entire code. You can now turn it off for the function that is causing the error which is usually at the top of the call stack trace.

Exclude 3rd-Party SWC Code

When using a third-party SWC file in your Flash project, there is a chance that it is already obfuscated. If so, the result SWF file will contain obfuscated code blocks that will prevent secureSWF from successfully parsing and analyzing your SWF file. To solve this issue, you can now add the SWC file that you have been using in secureSWF and it will skip the code blocks in your SWF files that came from it.

Enhanced Control Flow Obfuscation

We’ve enhanced our Control Flow Obfuscation algorithm making it more random and much harder to trace. You will no longer see stuff as if(false) or if(true) in your obfuscated code. Instead, we are using your own variables and parameters to evaluate our branching statements. Don’t worry, this change does not affect the performance and the file size increase is still negligible.

PDF Reports

secureSWF can now generate a nice and shiny PDF report that details all the changes it did to your code. Please note that the reports still need some polishing that we will definitely do before the official release.

Easier Classes Navigation

We’ve separated Classes from Frame Labels names in ActionScript 3 projects for good. You can now browse your code without the noise frame labels adds. All frame labels can still be found in nice table next to the classes.

Enhanced Performance

You will notice that it now take less time for secureSWF to process your code and, more importantly, will consume less memory. We still plan for even further enhancements in the next releases.

Enhanced CLI and Ant Script Integration

We want you to be able to do everything secureSWF can do using the command-line interface or an Ant script. And we are working to make that happen. This version includes many enhancements and additions to the CLI and Ant task. Please note that we haven’t updated the documentation yet. Contact our support team for a draft documentation of the CLI and Ant task new features.
