About Force 5 Software
Force 5 Software, Inc. develops and markets
solutions for JavaTM developers who are concerned
with the protection of intellectual property. Our
flagship product, JCloakTM, was the industry's
first "100% Pure JavaTM" obfuscator, and the first to support
Java 2. It packages
a Java product and protects it from reverse engineering.
At Force 5 Software we are firmly committed to fair
pricing. Under our "No Greed" pricing policy,
licensees do not have to pay to report bugs or get access to
maintenance releases. We can do this because we are a low overhead
organization, and committed to staying that way.
We are also firmly committed to our
community. We believe that everyone is entitled to a decent
place to live and raise his or her children. As such, a portion of
our employees' time and our product revenues is donated to helping
organizations such as Habitat For Humanity International, our local Peninsula
Habitat and Silicon Valley Habitat as well as other
charitable organizations.
Force 5 Software is a privately held California
corporation. We are headquartered in Sunnyvale, California.
Corporate
Background
Force 5 Software began in 1990, with the mission to
deliver quality custom software solutions to the Internet development community.
Since 1996 Force 5 Software has been focused on
Java development tools.
Since the beginning of Java our clients have
complained about two problems:
- Java bytecode is too easy to reverse
engineer.
- Java Applets are too large to deploy on
web pages.
After substantial research we determined
that bytecode obfuscation was the solution.
We investigated products and shareware available and found they
had any combination of problems: they did little to reduce the
symbol information, were too complicated or too expensive. We resolved to address these problems. Our solution was
JCloak
, conceived from the beginning
to be "100% Pure Java".
JCloak version
3 shipped in early 1999, incorporating a number of
performance enhancing features.
