I am looking for tools that can protect Linux software, as below:

  1. Make the reverse engineering of the software difficult so that the hacker cannot get the algorithm from it easily.
  2. Prevent the software from being copied to other computers without a valid license.

If no tool can support both features, then please advise separate tools for the 2 features separately.

Also I am thinking of using firmware to implement the algorithm. Since it is burned into the hardware, will it be more difficult for hackers to reverse engineer and get the algorithm?

  • Please remember that whole idea of Linux is being an open-source operating system. -- (1) is called obfuscating. If you additionally encrypt your software, it will be considered malware by antivirus software. (2) Look up what a "hardware dongle" is.
