This blog post demonstrates through an example how the Epona obfuscating compiler, from the Epona Application Protection Suite, achieves the challenge of facilitating the everyday experience of its users while enabling better obfuscation schemes trade-offs.

Two engineers from QuarksLab had talks accepted at CppCon this year: two tools presentation, Easy::jit, and Frozen; and a general introduction to the ELF format. It's hard to cope with the 9 hours of jet-lag, but it is definitively worth the effort, so here is our conf report!

Easy::jit is a library that brings just-in-time compilation to C++ codes. It allows developers to jit-compile some functions and specializing (part of) their parameters. Just-in-time compilation is done on-demand and controlled by the developer. The project is available on github .
