Is there any point of serials/logins for apps on linux??
  • So i was wondering, is there actually any point of people trying to secure linux applications when you can just use DGB and use the command "list" to see the programs source code??

    you can only view the source code if the executables debug information includes references to the source files, and since they are just references you must also have the source files themselves, making the first point rather moot. so yeah, you can strip debug information and distrubute an executable without its source code, and the best people can do is dissassemble it.
