- rhexs 6y agoNo, it’s still much easier.
- onionisafruit 6y agoRight. One place I worked would probably benefit from attackers getting access to the source code. It would cost them weeks of productivity trying to figure it out.

- tpmx 6y ago> Despite the above, the quality of the code is generally excellent. Modules are small, and procedures generally fit on a single screen. The commenting is very detailed about intentions, but doesn't fall into "add one to i" redundancy.
- sn_master 6y agoyup, similar sentiments are always given whenever MS code leaks, whether the MS DOS 6 that MS officially released, or the more recent Windows XP leak. Nobody who looked into it claimed any of the code was "messy" or anything but excellent engineering.
