If you're in trouble and cannot find an answer to a question which goes beyond Stack Overflow...

If you have a not-so-usual solution for your problems but need to justify it to your boss...

If you like to think on your own rather than blindly follow "common wisdom" and "profound truth"...

...then 'No Bugs' Hare on Soft.ware might be the right place for you.

Another Quote:	“If your game is NOT really time-critical – we can go all the way to the full-scale Tor-like network out of obfuscation-only (Re)Actors”

Quote:	“Whenever we detect that the time spent within a piece-of-non-blocking-code, is more than a few seconds – then, either the system is hopelessly swapping, or we’re being debugged”
Another Quote:	“What if we send not just a challenge, but a “challenge which includes some piece of code to be executed on the Client-Side”?”

Quote:	“we can handle several Client versions (each with its own obfuscation) with the very same Server.”
Another Quote:	“Then, if/when a zero-day bug is encountered in TLS – our obfuscation does provide additional protection even before the attacker can reach the code with that zero-day vulnerability”

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.”
