Delphi dfm bad compiler
All exes compiled can be decompiled (but with some hardship ) but delphi application forms are saved as dfms inside exe which can b开发者_开发技巧e seen easily (with reshacker) (soooo easily ) can i overcome these problems ,first i thought of copying dfm data to oncreate procedure so i can hide my form information .
tell me a good solution for this ,
i do not like to use compressors
and my application is bit large so i cant port resourese one by one to a dll. i need an effective solution.
.dfm files are not stored as txt when they're linked into the final PE file. They are converted to a tagged binary format that is placed into an RCDATA Windows resource. For the images, they are stored as the raw binary. While building your application, the .dfm files can be stored as text or binary (right click the form designer and there is a selection for choosing one or the other). This only affects the format of the .dfm file itself. It has zero affect on its format once it is linked into your final binary.
You can try to convert the images to constant arrays (there are many tools that will read a binary and write out an array decl in various language formats) and use it as an include file. Another thing is to encrypt the images using a one-way algorithm like RSA or PGP. This won't keep someone from decrypting the image, but it will keep someone from replacing it since they won't have the private key.
If this is about protecting your applications images you are already on the losing side:

It is always possible to make screenshots of a running application.
