Re: Obfuscated patches

Hello,

If it's a patch why do you need to obfuscate ? Patch the binary and bindiff
it :)

If you are talking about starting to obfuscate the resulting binaries,
that's a dark way to go... Waste of cpu cycles, compatibility problems, etc
etc etc...

Hi.

Just curious: will we see one day obfuscated patches
(in a manner of obfuscated code) to make reverse engineer's
(who would like to create exploits after security patches out)
work harder?
