'No Bugs' Bunny

Once upon a time, in a rabbit outsourcing warren of Bunnylore, there was a young software developer bunny. And as a developer, he has had one very unusual treat: he was obsessed with eliminating all the bugs he can get his forelegs on. So, it is not surprising that his friends called him a “No Bugs” Bunny (or simply “NoBugs”).

Later on, he grew up, so he decided that “Bunny” in his name has became inappropriate (not to mention potential arguments with Warner Brothers), so he has asked all his friends to call him “No Bugs” Hare. He has made a career as a team lead and software architect, and they lived happily ever after.

Quote: “Technically, what we’re looking for here, is any kind of bijection; we’ll use this bijection to convert our data from one representation into another one (and as it is a bijection, we can revert it later).”
Another Quote: “As we’re not writing our obf<> classes manually (instead, we have a code generator doing it for us on each build), the sky is the limit to the obfuscations we can generate.”

Quote: “Bingo! We’ve got an executable, which automagically performs TONS of integrity checks, which checks are spread all over the executable, and are extremely non-obvious too.”
Another Quote: “This approach of ‘not revealing code until attack costs are high’ is certainly not limited to payments.”

Quote: “it is fundamentally impossible to prevent (or detect) debugging, at least as long we’re staying on one single box.”
Another Quote: “DON’T spend more than 10% of your overall anti-bot-fighting time budget on system-specific protections.”

Bot Fighting 101: Don’t Feed the Hacker

Quote: “Some of the system calls are not absolutely necessary, and using them will significantly simplify life of the attacker”
Another Quote: “Scrambling will help to protect your protocol even if the attacker manages to F.L.I.R.T. with your TLS library”
