Guardant Armor

Guardant Armor is technology of counteraction to the analysis and modification of the software.

On November 10, 2016 the Active Soft company announced product output for counteraction to the analysis and modification of the software — Guardant Armor.

As the press service of Guardant Armor company — the difficult and multilevel technology of software protection having a number of features reported:

Advertizing Guardant Armor, (2016)

Universality

• Support of any executable files and dynamic libraries written in any native programming languages.

Reliability

• Protection gears for effective counteraction to different acceptances of the analysis and modification of the software.

Flexibility

• Possibility of the choice and installation of optimal security prefixes depending on features of the specific software product.

Main opportunities of Guardant Armor:

• Obfuscation of the code of the program;
• Virtualization of the code with dynamic enciphering;
• Counteraction reverse engineering;
• Concealment of points of entry in the performed modules;
• Control of integrity;
• Counteraction to implementation attempts;
• Protection against debugging;
• The automatic choice of the protected functions.

Guardant Armor helps to protect the program from illegal copying. It is reached by means of use of technologies of obfuscation and virtualization of the code.

• Obfuscation — technology of complication of the code of the program. Using this method, in the application the functionality in full remains, but the program code becomes so difficult that it cannot almost be analyzed.
• Virtualization of the code — technology of replacement of an application code with the pseudo-instructions generated using protection gears of Guardant:
• Certain code locations will be transformed to secure system of commands of the unique interpreter which provides their accomplishment in the fullness of time.
• At protection of the same application every time is generated a new copy of a pseudo-code with own logic and a command set. Thus, instructions of a pseudo-code can be carried out only on that interpreter for which the bytecode was generated.
• The interpreter is also responsible for protection of instructions of a pseudo-code and itself from modification.

The system of virtualization of the Guardant code - the difficult, multilevel protective technology steady against static and dynamic analysis.

Specific Features:

• protection gears for each copy of the program;
• protection of integrity of separate fragments and all application;
• mechanisms of detection and counteraction to attempts of implementation in the code;
• protection against debugging and dynamic calculation of parameters of commands;
• lack of permanent signatures in the protected code.

Guardant Armor works at 32-and 64-bit Windows platforms. The technology protects any executable files and libraries (.exe, .dll and so forth) written in any programming language which is compiled in machine code (C, C ++, Pascal and others).

For November 18, 2016 the beta of a product is available free of charge as a part of the version of Guardant SDK 7 update 3.
