Software reliability, piracy and tampering are serious and well known threats the world is faced with. Significant attempts have been made to protect software from reverse engineering and tampering. Last week, the Software Reliability Lab at ETH Zurich, headed by Prof. Martin Vechev, released a system called JSNice which makes obfuscated and minified JavaScript code readable again. The system has already been used by more than 34,000 developers in over 140 countries.
