Got the point! Does someone know of some article about debugger protection?
Maybe this might be some good article for MacDev Magazin from O'Reilly.

There exists companies which have code obfuscation products, one is http://www.preemptive.com/ which recently got a little attention over something they call "Program State Code Protection" (or PSCP for short).

I have not been able to find any real info about it other than: "[it is] changing the code AS IT RUNS to make it harder for a cracker to know what is actually happening [...]" (from a column by Robert X. Cringely, see <http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20040219.html>).

Self-modifying code would of cause not be very good for non-x86 platforms.
