Professional Android Code Obfuscation Tools

Like any other development project, app protection initiatives are at the mercy of scope, time, and bandwidth for ongoing support. That’s why it pays dividends to have protection programs that are easy to implement.

DashO offers professional-grade protection to add multiple layers of security measures to mobile applications, making it more challenging for hackers to successfully reverse engineer your app. In turn, this makes it harder for them to steal your intellectual property, compromise your users’ data, or harm your business.

What Does DashO Help Prevent?

DashO secures Android, Java, and Kotlin apps with layered protection - combining advanced obfuscation and runtime checks. These are some of the most common types of mobile app attacks that DashO can help prevent.

Reverse Engineering

Virtually all mobile code is at risk of reverse engineering attacks. Using multiple forms of code obfuscation—including resource encryption, control flow, renaming, and more—DashO minimizes a hacker’s ability to commit successful reverse engineering attacks.

Tampering

If an unauthorized person tampers with your code, they can use it to do everything from acquiring user data to injecting malicious dependencies into your application.

DashO makes it easier to tell when someone is tampering with your application’s code. It also helps you track down unauthorized versions of your app that hackers may be using to scam unsuspecting users and get the information they would normally give to you as part of your services.

Unauthorized Debugging

Hackers sometimes use this form of tampering to learn how specific parts of your application work. DashO enables your security team to determine when someone was attempting to debug your application—and who was doing it.

Furthermore, the program’s debug detection capabilities allow you to set certain actions in the event of unauthorized debugging attempts, such as shutting down the app or reverting to previous versions.

How Does DashO Android Obfuscation Work?

DashO uses 11 different layers of security features in its approach to code obfuscation for Android. These measures include:

Are You Scanning for Vulnerabilities?

A holistic approach to DevSecOps also requires static application security testing to find vulnerabilities in your source code. That’s where PreEmptive’s sister brand and partner in protection comes into play.

Frequently Asked Questions

Android apps are prime targets for reverse engineering and hacking because their code is relatively easy to access. Without strong protection, attackers can steal your intellectual property, insert malicious code, or exploit vulnerabilities. Obfuscation tools scramble your app’s code, making it much harder to understand and manipulate.

Using obfuscation as part of your security strategy helps safeguard your app and users from cyber threats, reduces the risk of data breaches, and protects your brand from costly fines, lawsuits, and damage to your reputation. It’s an essential layer of defense in today’s competitive and high-risk mobile landscape.

DashO not only protects your existing apps from reverse engineering and tampering—it’s even more powerful when integrated throughout the development lifecycle. By embedding DashO early, you enable a DevSecOps approach that improves code security, reduces vulnerabilities, and boosts overall app quality from the start.

Using JSDefender alongside DashO for our Android apps has been a game-changer, giving us a complete mobile protection solution. It's reassuring to know our apps are secure on both platforms with such powerful tools at our disposal.
