Abstract: Techniques for application code obfuscation are disclosed. In one embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a method including receiving application code and testing data associated with the application; automatically generating obfuscated application code from the received application code; automatically testing the obfuscated application code by running the obfuscated application code and inputting at least the recorded inputs from the testing data while recording associated outputs; in response to determining that the associated outputs from automatically testing the obfuscation code do not match the testing data outputs, modifying the obfuscated application code and automatically testing the modified obfuscated application code against the testing data; and, in response to determining that outputs from automatically testing the modified obfuscated application code match the testing data outputs, transmitting the modified obfuscated application code as a successful obfuscation of the application.

Abstract: A method for correlating software inventory information with delivered software. The method may include delivering a software application to a first client system. The method may also include receiving, from an agent that monitors installations on the first client system, application registration information written to the client system during installation of the software application. The method may further include identifying delivery information that corresponds to the software application and associating the application registration information with the delivery information. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: Techniques for differencing binary installation packages are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a method for performing differencing binary installation packages. The method may comprise populating at least one data structure using information from different builds of a binary installation package, comparing information in the at least one data structure, and generating a result of the comparison.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for elevating privileges for a process may comprise: 1) determining that the process requires elevated privileges for proper execution, 2) attempting to elevate privileges for the process, 3) determining whether privileges for the process were elevated, and 4) concluding execution of the process. In one example, each step of the method may be performed by the process itself. Corresponding systems and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: Multiple, semi-independent virtual operating system (OS) environments coexist within a single (OS) such that a change made in one environment does not affect the main OS or any other environment. In this way each virtual OS environment appears to be an independent OS for the applications running within it. The file system and registry information for each environment is independent of the base OS and other environments. Each of the environments can contain a group of installed applications that will run independently of each other. Although the invention is described in terms of a Windows® environment, the approach is applicable to other operating systems through appropriate modification.
