Encrypting War files

Question

I would like to encrypt or obfuscate my WAR file so that reverse engineering will take a little more effort. Is there such a tool or maven plugin that will encrypt a WAR file a

Answer 1

i have same problem here. I tried it with Yguard 2.4, Proguard 4.7, Zelix 5.4.6, Allatori 4.0 , JavaGuard 1.0, Sandmark 3.40. All of those are not giving me glance that my obfuscated web application would not run. They can obfuscate bytecodes even they can obfuscate my application. That is all.

p.s : The application server(server container tomcat, apache, glassfish, weblogic , websphere etc) can't hide our code from hackers. in my experience all of them has temp folder which contains currently using items. In this folder we can see the code.

Finally i would say if we use Java then we make opensource. :P
