The book covers, among other things, these topics:
    * Understanding the theoretical limits of code obfuscation
    * Detecting software tampering in distributed system
    * Mastering techniques that both attackers and defenders use to
      analyze programs
    * Using code obfuscation to make software harder to analyze and
      understand
    * Fingerprinting software to identify its author and to trace
      software pirates
    * Tamperproofing software using guards that detect and respond to
      illegal modifications of code and data
    * Strengthening content protection through dynamic watermarking
      and dynamic obfuscation
    * Detecting code theft via software similarity analysis and
      birthmarking algorithms
    * Using hardware techniques to defend software and media against
      piracy and tampering
