All of their papers linked to describe what addblocking is, and why it is wrong. None describe the technology they use, or how they "monotize addblocked traffic". The closest I could find is that it is based on a polymorphic encryption algorithm, which does not inspire confidence in me. Combined with the fact that they claim to support all addblockers, and addformats, and I am calling snakeoil. They also say it is patented, so I will see if I can dig up said patent. EDIT: I did a search on the patent office for "adblocking AND polymorphic" (with variations of adblocking), and found no results. EDIT2: Also, no information on how to buy their "product" beyond a generic contact us.

Malware droppers use polymorphic encryption to avoid detection ;)

I also couldn't find any U.S. patents (or even just published applications) listing any of these people[1] as inventors. Nor any U.S. patent assignments to a company called "Secret Media." Maybe they're referring to some other jurisdiction, or maybe the patent has some other inventor(s) and their entity name is something besides Secret Media. Or maybe they're full of shit.

Our website contains as less information as possible on our technology, on purpose. A patent is generally public 2 years after the application. You'll have to wait at least 9 more months :) We only work with premium publishers, and we'll probably never have a SAAS solution. We are hiring...
