I'd be happy if someone could edit or post a better version, because with my low knowledge of the English language, I'm out :D. – looper Dec 6 '12 at 9:04
I don't have enough points to edit your post, but this is good: "What software is there for disassembling programs but doesn't require knowing a programming language?" – JABFreeware Mar 31 at 19:59

This could be a legally iffy question (the whole idea of 'hacking' is iffy on SE), but this question in particular would be a definite issue seeing as how you're directly asking how to impede or get around monetary gain from an entity. – Qix Dec 22 '12 at 1:41
I never said anything about getting money. This question is suppose to resemble a question that a user might ask, as opposed to a professional. However, I do also think that hacking in general is questionable on SE, as you said, for legal reasons. – Josiah Dec 22 '12 at 13:49
