Reverse Engineering Snapchat: Obfuscation Techniques
This is an awesome write-up; I’m shocked at the level of effort that went into Snap’s obfuscation process. It implies that are entire teams of engineers out there whose sole job it is to play cat&amp;mouse with reverse engineers and nothing more. Another comment mentioned that this effort is outsourced, so not only are there teams, but entire companies dedicated to this!<p>What a blast that must be... though the immense amount of [invested|wasted] (take your pick depending on cynicism) effort spent on this game makes me a little sad. All of these brilliant minds just... cosplaying Sisyphus?
