Personally, I like to focus my efforts on more positive things.
Sure, there are all sorts of people out to get me. So, far, though, they have largely not succeeded.
Maybe it's because I grew up in a big, dangerous city (Detroit), so I know what side of the street to walk on. Or maybe it's because the more you worry about things happening to you, the more likely they are to happen.
I think the first idea is futile, and the second violates our agreement with Apple. I don't particularly want to violate my agreement with Apple, and then document it in public.
I do like the idea of open-source anti-cracking code. That may seem an oxymoron, but I think security through obscurity never ultimately works. Only when security software is open source, and freely available to potential foes, can it be relied-upon.
Of course, such software would have to include some sort of reporting component, in order to measure it's effectiveness. But I think trying to figure out who is cracking and why is a wasted effort. It's one of those questions that doesn't need to be asked in the first place, like the survey I got from Verizon asking me why I switched to ATT,
Some do it to save a few bucks and some do it for fun. And in any case, there's unlikely to be some big criminal cartel behind it that can be busted and so the problem will suddenly go away.
