Test Obfuscation

Hi

I want to evaluate my protected file after using protection tools. In other words, it is important for me to measure that how the obfuscation can be effective. With these taken into account, is it possible to test obfuscation result with SMARTBEAR?

    Hi,



    > I need a tool to distinguish complexity of algorithm.

    I know that some tools can estimate the complexity of code (e.g. cyclomatic complexity), but I think that this is not what you need.

    It is my understanding that you are interested in evaluation of the quality of algorithm itself (i.e. mathematical quality) and I think that this is a task for the mathematician who is a specialist in cryptology.

    Hi,



    Did I understand you right that you've got some encrypted file and want to decrypt it?

    If the above is correct, than for sure TestComplete can be one of your tools - write the code that will try to decrypt the file and execute it. Then check if the file was decrypted correctly or not.

    Not exactly, I present an encryption and decryption algorithms in two mode. so, I want to know that which of them is more complex? which tools can be used by me? In other word, I need a tool to distinguish complexity of algorithm.
