Just to add to this discussion- in _most_ cases ANY piece of code
that is loaded into RAM can be _easily_ reversed. I think there are
like two exceptions to that!
O'Reilly's "Secure Programming Cookbook" has a chapter on making code
resistant to cracking, both through obfuscation and deterring the use
of debuggers. I think Ferguson & Schneier's "Practical Crypography"
talks a bit about this too, at a higher level.
But in general there is no way to prevent your code from being
reversed or cracked by a dedicated hacker. The harder you try, the
more it just becomes an enticing challenge to them.
