I have written an application, ready to sell, but this is connection to a MySQL database for logging in.
I know of the existance of REFOX (probably other decompilers to), probably using these it is not hard to find the connection string to hack the databse. Is it therefore possible to hide the connection string somewhere so that it is hard (or impossible) to find?
Is it possible to be protected against a decompiler (seeing machine code or assembly does not disturb me, but a high-level programing does)? I do know that there is no 100% protection against hacking!
