Is there any way better to protect codes than CliSecure ?

[pstrusi]

Hi Ninjas,

I know it's a difficult subject to get solved in the short term with actual tools. I'm pretty impressed how massively are offered in the net different services of cracking/Reverse Engineering of codes any kind. I'm aware that you guys have allowed to use ClicSecure in order to get a little of additional protection, but it is obviously not good enough in the hypothetical situation that you wanted to protect a complete Algo, cause 2 reasons:

1. C# works with .Net, which facilitates any reverse engineering process, no matter how hard you encrypted it.

2. In case one had the best encryption tool, still that script would have to be ran within NT software. The Algo would never be a complete .exe file.

So here my questions:

1. If I had a good Algo, written in NT environment, that needed to be encrypted extensively, what tools or protection packages do you know that can allow the creation of an Algo into a whole .exe file?

2. If I buy an external protection package as . NetReactor to encrypt codes, will those encrypted codes work in NT ?

It's not urgent, but I'd appreciate highly your opinion in the matter.

Thanks

Hello Pstrusi,

Thank you for your post.

I am not aware of anything that is offered in this place.

However, the secure software has been updated for NinjaTrader 8 using Agile.NET which is claimed to be uncrackable.

Additionally, I will leave this thread open for any other users who have found different methods of security at this time.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Hi Cal,

Thanks for quick response in off-time work. Still, your interesting answer triggers 2 questions:

1. Will this secure software ( Agile.NET ) be free for Lifetime NT users?
2. Is there already a date of NT 8 release?

Thanks again

Pstrusi,

It will require the purchase of a license to use the upgraded package.
There has not been a date set for NinjaTrader 8

See more information on Agile.NET from the Enhancements link below -

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Thanks for your answer Cal.

I'm just wondering, if one had a very good code to protect, it seems that the only better reliable step would be to create a complete API solution by his/her own and encrypt it as deeply as it could be done with the best tool ?

Pstrusi,

I have no information on this subject and not sure if would be possible within NinjaTrader 7.

No worries, maybe the ultimate solution would be a hardware protection software like HASP HL

Thanks for your attention
