What makes Promon Code Protect™ different

Multi-layered obfuscation

Transforms code structures, including functions, variables, and execution flow, to make both native and JavaScript logic unreadable to reverse engineering tools or AI-based analysis.

Section encryption

Encrypts sensitive code and data sections within binaries, preventing attackers from performing static analysis or extracting core logic.

Control-flow abstraction

Conceals how the app executes by rerouting function calls and breaking visible links between code blocks. In native apps, this hides real control paths. For JavaScript code, it randomizes logic flow to obscure behavior.

Checksumming and integrity verification

Computes hashes and checksums across code regions to detect unauthorized changes. If tampering is detected, the app responds automatically by triggering safe failure or blocking execution.

Advanced data and symbol obfuscation

Renames symbols, classes, and variables; hides strings, integers, and operators; and shuffles function order. These combined measures conceal metadata and logic relationships, making reverse engineering or deobfuscation infeasible.

Anti-debugging and anti-tampering

Inserts randomized traps and integrity checks that disrupt debugging and prevent runtime inspection across both native and JavaScript environments.

Debug stripping and surface reduction

Removes all unnecessary debug information, metadata, and annotations to minimize exposure and reduce the attack surface.
